What Causes Fluctuation In The BP?

I normally take 20mg Lisinopril x1 daily. This am I forgot I had taken my pill and took an additional dose. My bp runs 160/110 without meds and with my normal dose runs close to 112/68. I m afraid with the additional dose that I may be in trouble. Its been about 3 hrs.

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

I would explain that there is nothing to worry about considering your blood pressure values.

I would just recommend having some rest and taking plenty of water. I don't think that your blood pressure values will drop further.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
