“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.

Nope, just tell your doc and see if he can change it.
It dries out your throat.

Mints and Cough drops help a little.....................

You might just need a lower dose of what you’re taking.
That worked for me!
