Suggest Treatment For High Systolic Blood Pressure

I am 28 y/o. I'm in good health exercise 3-4 days a week. Played sports my whole life. Blood work is good, but I have high systolic BP. Dr. Put me on 10mg Lisinopril, did nothing. I'm currently on 20mg of lisinopril with very little effect. I check my BP at work, it reads 128-156/53-66. Most of the time it starts in the high 140's. The werid thing is I can take it again 10 seconds later, after doing some slow deep breathing, and it will read 128-133/56-62. I don't understand, do I need BP meds or meds to make me relax??
