Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your symptoms seem to be related to a side effect of Lisinopril.

I suggest you to avoid using this medication.

You may try a different medication such as Losartan 50 mg which is a prescription medication.

You should consult your cardiologist before taking this medication.

Meanwhile, I suggest to use an antihistamine for the coughing such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
