How Can Chronic Cough Be Treated?

I ve had a cough for over 9weeks now. I can t function during coughing spurts, it wakes me from a dead sleep. I m taking Lisinoprel and wonder is there any other blood pressure medication that doesn t have coughing as a side effect. Never had anything like this in my life

Hello! Welcome to HealthcareMagic!

Yes, it is likely a Lisinopril induced cough. You need to change it to another medication. There are multiple options available such as Tab Cilnidipine 10 mg once a day, in the morning. Another option is of Metoprolol. So you discuss with local doctor and get this prescribed.


Hope this helps you and get back to me if you have any doubts.

Take care
