Which scared the crap out of me

I'm sure it does. Make an appointment with your doc and tell him what it's been running. Take your bp every morning and write it down....keep a good record to show him. A lot of times Lisinopril is combined with a diuretic. One or both of those may need to be increased.

An ace inhibitor and combined with a diuretic should do the trick. It's getting the combo right...your doc can do this...if you keep good records and maybe even with just a phone call.

And for goodness sakes...get exercise, cut the salt and relax!!!!! (i know easier said than done lol)

*hugs.
