Hi,
First of all, you need to check your blood pressure regularly. Please report of you notice any symptoms like headache, heart racing or tiredness. Secondly, If you miss a dose of Lisinopril, take it as soon as you remember. If you don't remember until the following day, skip the missed dose. Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten one. If you forget doses often, it may help to set an alarm to remind you.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
