Caffeine raises blood pressure and sometimes it hinders absorption of anti-hypertensive if taken in large quantity. This may cause high blood pressure.
Advice
1. Continue lisinopril as suggested by your doctor
2. Avoid smoking, alcohol, coffee and caffeinated beverages. You can consume tea instead of caffeine
3. Regular exercise at least 30 minutes for 5 days in a week. The best types of exercise for lowering BP include walking, jogging, cycling, swimming or dancing.
4. Eating a diet that is rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy products
5. Consume less salt
6. Lose extra weight if you are overweight and keep your body mass index between 19 and 25. BMI is calculated by formula BMI = Weight in Kilograms / (height in meters x height in meters)
7. Reduce your metal stress because stress activates sympathetic system and increases BP
8. Measure your BP regularly and be in touch with your doctor
