Answer
Hello, doctor, I would like to answer the question: “Can I take Lisinopril 10mg with low blood pressure? ” as follows:
Do you take blood pressure medicine (Lisinopril 10mg/day/ 1 tablet) regularly (ie, take it every day and at the right time)? When your blood pressure is 113/80 mmHg, do you have any abnormal symptoms? What device do you use to measure blood pressure? (Electronic blood pressure monitor worn on the wrist or measured by arm cuffs, muscle sphygmomanometers measured by medical staff or guided family members)? An important parameter when measuring blood pressure to evaluate is what your heart rate is at that time (usually electronic sphygmomanometers will measure this parameter).
So the doctor would like to advise your case as follows:
If you take the medicine regularly and the blood pressure measured is 113/80 mmHg combined with no abnormal symptoms, the blood pressure is due to the effect of the drug. and it's under good control. Your doctor's advice is that you continue taking the medicine.
If you take blood pressure medication irregularly and at one point you measure your blood pressure as 113/80mmHg, your doctor will not be able to advise you accurately because your hypertension will be re-evaluated: Diagnosis Accurately diagnose the degree of hypertension of your doctor, further assess the risk factors, should proceed to wear a 24-hour blood pressure Holter combined with monitoring your clinical symptoms throughout the time of wearing the Holter. Through this, the doctor can give accurate and comprehensive advice for your disease.
