I used to be on a BP med that would cause a dry cough after a long period of use........Lisinopril, I think.............

I was just diagnosed with mild HBP and that is what I’m taking an have the cough.
Anything I can do other than change r/X?
Cough is annoying as heck.
I’ve been taking Lisinopril for almost six years without a problem.
Yep. It took 2 ear, nose and throat doctors to figure it out. Kind of a blessing in disguise as the last dr. diagnosed tumors in my typhoid. Had surgery, no cancer thank goodness.
