What Could Be The Cause Of Intermittent Dry Cough After Angioplasty?
my mother recently had an angioplasty and has been home for a week. She is suffering from dry cough and we cant seem to figure out if that's a side effect or a reaction to something. Although its not been bothering her majorly, but i have observed that it just happened on and off and I am not entire sure whats triggering it. She is diabetic and hypertensive and is on usual medication such as Ecosprin and Clopigrel along with other drugs to cure hypertention and diabetes. Drugs Include: Prolomel XL, Cardace, Rozat, Presgator, Geminor, JalraM

Hello ,
Dry cough is a very common side effect of cardace , so if it's a recent drug who was added you should consult your doctor and he will substitute the same for you .
That should take care of the cough.
Angioplasty per say doesn't cause cough.
