Took Lisinopril, Aspirin And Multivitamin. BP Is High And Had Heart Attack

I take 20 mg lisinopril per day, plus 50 mcg levothyroxine, 81 mg aspirin, multivitamin, 1000 mg. Vit. D and 600 mg calcium. My blood pressure has gotten dramatically higher in the last month, probably due to my worry over my husband, who has had a heart attack. My doctor wants me to start also HCTZ, 12.5 mg. Will the side effects likely outweigh the benefits of this?
