I have had hypertension for about 8 years I have been taking lisinopril hctz 10/12.5 once a day, until recently. I started walking to get it down I walked for 3 months 5 days a week I started getting light headed during walking . Now iam taking the same drug twice a day and its not lowering my blood pressure any more than the once a day dose. Mornings are ok but I dread the night anzxious and blood pressure is usually 160/89.I was under control until I started exercising regular.Is that possible, or just a coincidence.

Give it time and try not to get so anxious at night!!! I completely understand..Keep walking and drink your water!! Eat your fruits (blueberries) and if it still doesn't work talk with your doctor. I would keep walking then turn to speed walking-cut out all fat and sodium-as much as you can. I even read that chinese use celery to lower blood pressure-i would look that up to see what it says about that. All in time!!

Good luck!!
