If blood pressure is still 147/87 even being on lisinopril 20 mg once daily, should i be concerned?

That is : Considered uncontrolled high blood pressure by definition. You may need to restrict your salt intake along with taking your blood pressure daily and recording them in a log to bring to the healthcare provider. If you drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes then please consider quitting. And losing weight will always help lower the blood pressure.
