What Causes Severe Cough While On Lisinopril?
I take lisinopril and I have a terrible cough. I am over the flu and told my doctor about my coughing and getting tiny pinch feelings in my throat. I am diabetic and they want me to take the lisinopril to help with my kidneys. Explain to me what is going on if you can. YYYY@YYYY

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Lisinopril can cause persistent dry cough as side effects.
Stop taking this drug and tell your doctor to prescribe alternative anti-hypertensive drug.
