I've been taking lisinopril 10mg for several years now. i've been wanting to get off them, so i didn't take one, checked my bp throughout the day & it was staying at 120/80, this will be my 2nd day not taking it, so can i stop them if it stays low?

If it stays this level for a week off meds I would consider stopping, but with a call to your regular doctor as part of the decision. 2 days is not a good gauge of what can happen with various dietary and other variations in your daily activities over time. If you stay in a normal range for a week or two it is a good indicator that a change can be safe. Elevated BP is a stealth killer.

Have distinct reservations regarding your independent decision to alter your antihypertensives, as your system has adapted over time, and it would be likely that your blood pressure will surge upwards in absence of your medication. Immediately contact your doctor, and do NOT allow your hypertension to succeed as the "Silent Killer"!
