Is lisinopril 5mg a good starting medication/dosage for 18 year old with hypertension?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood Pressure: You seem a little young to have developed hypertension already. You might want to talk with your primary doctor about trying more conservative measures first before starting on daily medications. At your age you'd be surprised what lifestyle changes including better diet, weight loss, and exercise can do to your blood pressure control.
