Could blood pressure drugs be causing cough and throat tickle?

@cab3 In answer to your questions - a lot of people seem to have an enduring cough after Covid.
And a large portion of the population who take lisinopril have ihe a throat tickle or a little cough from it. I was one of them. I first was given metoprolol, which got rid of the cough & tickle - later I had to change because it interfered with asthma meds, and now use Losartan - So, there are many options.
Maybe you can talk to your doctor about options?

How long does the post Covid cough and congestion last? I’m 4 weeks now. I’m so tired of coughing and blowing my nose!

@cab3 & @sueinmn I used to take Lisinopril for hypertension. I found out that getting a cough is a side effect. My doctor switched me to Losartan. More recently Amlodipine has been added. I also have a diuretic called Torsemide. So far, so good. Ask your Dr. about other options.
