How can hypertension be managed while on Lisinopril and Propranolol?
Patient: Hi, I am on 20 mg of lisenopril and 10 mg of propranolol to treat hypertension, but lately my blood pressure readings have been very high.This morning at 8am it was 144 over 90 and now at 7pm it was 144 over 100.Should I take an extra propranolol or lisenopril Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.  You should continue with Lisinopril. Propranolol is not a drug of choice for hypertension, although it may lower it. My suggestion is to stop Propranolol and start on Tablet Chlorthalidone once a day. However, if you want to continue Propranolol then change the dose consulting your doctor .   Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
