Is It Dangerous To Take Lisinopril5mg And Do Exercises For Bp Patients?

I am a 68 year old marathon runner who has a bp of 135/85 rest and 140/75 under a stress test. When I take Lisinopril 5mg my bp drops to 110/70 after exercise. Is it dangerous to continue exercising and taking this drug or should I take it as needed.?
