What Causes High Blood Pressure While On Lisinopril?
I just had my pressure taken which I have been doing for over a month. It was 160/98. I am taking 20mg of Lisinapril and 20mg of bystolic each day and an iron pill plus a multi vitimin. In just found out I had high blood pressure in March and my dr. started my meds in april. Any idea what might be wrong?

hi,
You should have low salt diet and regular exercises.
Also I think lisinopril should be changed to telmisartan 40 mg and if bp is still elevated then tab Amlodipine 5 mg should be added.
you discuss with local doctor regarding these issues.
Also get your lipid profile and sugars tested.
