Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, as you usually take a total daily dose of 40mg, there is nothing to worry about.

You should know that lisinopril can be taken also as a unique daily dose, instead of dividing it in two portions.

So, I would just recommend avoiding taking ( skip) the evening dose, and continue as usually tomorrow.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
