Does Frequent Intake Of Lisinopril Cause Any Complication?

I am supposed to take lisinopril 5mg twice daily. I forgot this morning and took it when I got home from work. Three hours later, I went to take my cholesterol medication (before bed) and I accidentally took the lisinopril again. Am I in any danger?
