What Causes Fatigue When Suffering From High BP?
M 69 year old husband takes lisinopril 20 mg each morning. We've been taking his blood presure at 7:00 p.m. sporadically. The averages over 6 times from late July until August 15 have been 107/63 with an average pulse of 80. He is still working but has been feeling more tired than usual

The blood pressure you have mentioned is on the lower side and it explains the tiredness he is feeling.
Maybe lisinopril at 20 mg is more powerful for him and the erratic consumption od medication may add to the fluctuations in blood pressure is far worse than not taking any medication.
I would suggest you take take 10 mg lisinopril every day at a foxed time , if th3 blood pressure is still more than 140 / 90 than only increase the dosage .
