Depends : On why you were given the rx: but it seems to me , not likely. Speak with the prescriber.

Probably: You may have been prescribed that medication not because your blood pressure was high, but because your heart was weaker than it should be. Lisinopril has been proven to strengthen hearts overtime, and decrease deaths in patients with weak hearts.
