My blood pressure has been averaging 107/70. I measure everyday in the morning. Sometime I will get readings as low as 100/65. I have recently lost more weight and have retired. Reducing a lot of stress. I exercise everyday and still play hockey 2 times a week. I am taking half of 1mg of lisinopril but still have side effects. The cough and libido. How long after I stop taking the meds will my bp begin to increase, if the problem is still there. The highest is ran was 150/100.
Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query. In my opinion you should not think of stopping the lisinopril. Antihypertensive medication should not be stopped. There is no I'm mediated effect of with Chat Doctor.
