Could blood pressure drugs be causing cough and throat tickle?

My husband was on Lisinipril and had a problem with coughing. Doc switched him to Losartan. Much better now

I was also on lisinipril in the past & coughing a lot. It's a know side effect of the drug. Discontinue & coughing stops!

Yes.
I was taken off ACE Inhibrace.
Also Metopolol. Made me breathless, fatigued and pauses at Night 2 secs long.
I use CCB Calcium Channel Blocker for rapid H/Rate Day.
Stopped taking bisoprolol when BP went low.
Diltizen 120 CD mg action on control of h/Rate and a little control of BP. It is a safe acting anti-arrhymic med.
After stopping Beta Blocker Bisoprolol no more afternoon sleeps.
A 24hr heart monitor should show what your med is doing in the side effects regime.

@shelby29 I switched to losartan too but cough persisted..:(

What does doc say

I too experienced coughing with Lisinipril and others. Bystolic was my answer for a bp med without constant coughing.

I am 81 and have been taking Metoprolol (Toprol XL) for about 15 years. I have had a tickle in my throat and cough for at least as long. I have other drugs, too many to list, but I am going to ask my cardiologist about it, and possibly wean off of it to see if it helps.

Ace inhibitors like lisinopril have cough as a side effect. Beta blockers like metoprolol or bisoprolol and calcium channel blockers ( like Cardizem) do not.

@wgoodman I am pretty sure my cough and throat tickle was from palpitations and arrhythmias, it is a little better now that I’m on camzyos but have no idea if that is why, it’s like no one can diagnose, one time it lasted over two yrs, a pulmonologist gave me azastaline and it cleared right up, now it doesn’t really help

@kemmu
Taking LOSARTAN, I'm still coughing, aspecially in the morning. Clear mucus.
Don't know what it's causing it.
Xray- no finds.
