Blood pressure update

Yesterday I went to the doctor for my blood pressure. It was 150/90. He gave me a complete physical and took a very good family history. They put me on blood pressure medicine called Lisinopril. Since I have a strong family history of high blood pressure. Both of my grandmothers have it. I go back in 3 weeks for a recheck. Otherwise I am healthy. We are getting a tread mill so I hope to loose some weight. Since I quit smoking I have gained a little weight and he said that would raise my blood pressure too.
