Is blood pressure of 90/60 too low?

I've had borderline high blood pressure in the past, so nowadays I'm on lisinopril. When I check my BP in the morning I'll often get some crazy low number like 91 / 60. Is that too low, any opinions? Maybe I should cut my tabs in half or something. Haven't passed out yet...

    Yes, the blood pressure of 90/60 is rather low; you must avoid taking the anti-hypertensive drug when your blood pressure is below 110 Systolic.. It is good to record down all your readings of the blood pressure, and show them to your doctor at the next visit. He must adjust your medication accordingly.
