I'm sure it does. Make an appointment with your doc and tell him what it's been running. Take your bp every morning and write it down....keep a good record to show him. A lot of times Lisinopril is combined with a diuretic. One or both of those may need to be increased.

An ace inhibitor and combined with a diuretic should do the trick. It's getting the combo right...your doc can do this...if you keep good records and maybe even with just a phone call.

And for goodness sakes...get exercise, cut the salt and relax!!!!! (i know easier said than done lol)
