Good Evening, One Of Our Jamaican Employees, Who Is A

Good evening,
One of our Jamaican employees, who is a 52 year old moderately obese woman, is determined to fast for seven days for religious reasons. She takes one 10 mg tablet of Lisinopril daily for increased BP issues. I have tried to encourage her not so fast for this length of time, but I do not have any adverse facts to prove my concern.
Any info on the cons of this drastic type of weight loss will be helpful
Many thanks,
Lydia
