Just throwing this out there. I've been on Lisinopril 10mg since 1996 now 20 mg due to unstable and elevated BP. Ive also been on metoprolol since 2008. Have never had any issues with either. Two weeks out from bilateral kidney stents placed now my BP has stabilized and even gotten lower... giving to ask my PCP about going back to 10mg. Mind you I also have two illeac stents 17 and 19 and have a stable AAA since 2020 at 4.2. Thoughts about these two drugs? Following...

I was on metoprolol after discharge, but around 4 months later I attended heart failure clinic and they switched to Bisoprolol. But I am on four other meds too.
My BP is very good, but only side effects are sometimes I can't walk in a straight line or I feel like I will fall. Almost never do though.
BP is amazing though.
Often a little short of breath or a bit puffy.
It took a year to titrate to the current med line up.
