Stupid Cough!

[Laggard]

Five months out and I've had this annoying dry cough on and off for a couple months now. My doctor didn't seem too concerned when I saw him last month. I see him in two weeks and will bring it up again.

Ideas? Anyone experienced this?

Some Meds make you cough. What blood pressure med are you on? Lisinapril is called the coughing medicine.

Metaproplol gave me a cough that went away after I was allowed to stop taking it.

Lisinapril yes! So that could be doing it. Thanks!

There are many options to Lisinapril that won't make you cough. Ask your cardio for a new script. You shouldn't need to go in for a visit.

I take Losartan (Cozaar) for BP and It's not supposed to have as much trouble with coughing as a side effect.

I now take losartan with no cough. I had to give up lisinapril. Much better on bp too.

Awesome advice everyone. My next apt is just a routine checkup. I will ask him for something new as long as it is available in generic.
