Thanks for "butting in". I am taking a low dose of Lisonapropil (sic), a BP med. Doc thinks we will be able to knock it off after the apnea is under control. Although I think the nasal junk has been causing it longer than the meds

Let me give you some advice. Get off the Lisonapropil NOW. That is what I was taking and it was a living hell. It took two months after switching BP meds to get the cough completely gone. I have worked with several other people that had the same issues. They switched meds and the cough is gone. That shit should not even be on the market. O wait the FDA gets money for that. Tell your doc flat out you want a different med for the BP. Please let me know what happens in a month or two. I am keeping a tally...........

Hi guys! I've been lurking quite a while, this is actually my first post!

I just have to butt in to say that I have been taking lisinopril for a couple of years now, and I don't have a trace of a cough. Nothing, no cough at all!

Telling someone to stop taking their blood pressure meds is probably not a good idea.

Everyone is different, just because your cough was caused by lisinopril doesn't mean that someone else's cough is also being caused by lisinopril. They should consult with their doctor.

And at any rate, hypertension is a much bigger threat than a cough.

Thanks for butting in, but one of the main side effects of Lisonapropil is a cough. I DID NOT say to stop taking it, but to get on something different to see if that caused the chronic cough. It does not effect everyone the same. One person I know just constantly cleared his throat and that went away after switching BP meds. It was hell for me and something as simple as switching BP meds cured it. Do some RESEARCH. And just so you know I did not start coughing day one. I was on hat for sometime before the cough started and continued to get worse. RESEARCH

Yeah, I am aware that one of the possible side effects of lisinopril is a cough.

I misunderstood your comment when you advised him to "get off lisinopril".

Lisinopril has not caused me to have a cough, and it's been a miracle drug with respect to the way it's treated my hypertension.

But you're right, there are other drugs that may work just as well for those who do experience side effects. They should definitely talk to their doctor.

Just wanted to chime back in say thanks. I intend to stay on lisinopril until my next check up for a number of reasons. As I mentioned, I've had chronic cough for much longer than the meds. Probably due to acid reflux (which is now getting under control) and allergic rhinitis (post nasal drip). Also, my wife takes a higher dosage than me and she has no issues whatsoever. My internalist put me on a low dosage because my BP was going up pretty steeply and we were still waiting on the sleep study. He showed me the chart with the graph and it was pretty scary. Better safe than sorry. He firmly believes this is temporary and related to sleep deprivation.

I agree with the sentiment that a little cough is better than hypertension. I am however, very grateful for the concern shown. Your intentions are very kind.
