Developed Dry Cough After Taking Medication For High Blood Pressure. Does Low Sodium Levels Cause Restlessness And Insomnia?
I was put on high blood pressure medicine . the result was not as good so was given the same type of medicine but it also included a dyuretic. With this I developed a dry cough and started to have sleepless nights. Along with this I was watching my soldium intake. Could low sodium lead to my restlessness and insomnia? Thank you

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Depending on the level, low sodium can cause a variety of neurological symptoms.
Most diuretics can cause low sodium...
Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors (ACE) are notorious for causing cough.
Discuss with your doctor - he can reduce the dose or change them.
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
