Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Yes, Lisinopril has been written for your hypertension, but it develops side effects like raised potassium which cause heart arrhythmia. So, Lisinopril is contraindicated in your condition and you have to avoid in this condition.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
