What Does This BP Level Indicate?

My blood pressure this evening is 88/69. I take lisinopril (10 mil) for moderate high blood pressure. I am noticing that since my retirement a couple weeks ago my blood pressure is pretty low like this. I think I may should talk to my doctor about it. Is this too low?

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Blood pressure of 88 mmHg systolic and 69 mmHg diastolic is to be considered as hypotension. This requires evaluation as it could be anti-hypertensive drug induced which you are taking or due to some other cause like blood loss, impaired circulation to the heart, infections in blood or endocrine disorders like thyroid disorders, adrenal insufficiency or diabetes mellitus.
Kindly get evaluated by consulting Physician at the earliest.
Hope the information provided would be useful.
All the best.
