Hello,
Coversyl is not known to cause this side effects. Still you can ask your doctor to change it to Amlodipine 5 or other medicine. Likely reason for this is vocal cord nodule and it usually occurs in those who needs to talk more like teachers. So get your vocal cord examined by ENT specialist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
