What Could Blood Pressure Dip In The Morning After Lysinopril Intake Indicate?

I was on 10mg lysinopril for bp. My bp has been too low in the AM and I have almost fainted. We reduced it to 1/2 pill. This AM my by was 84/55 with pulse of 94on waking. Within 5 minutes it was 108/62 after drinking two glasses of water. Pulse was 72. My bp has typically been 110 to 125/70 during the day. In the evening it may be 129/70. What is going on?

Hi,
I would recommend you to get an Ambulatory Blood pressure (ABP) recording. And with advice of your cardiologist your medications can be titrated and switched.
