Could blood pressure drugs be causing cough and throat tickle?

Posted by cab3 @cab3, Sep 8, 2022

I am post covid and have a deep cough. I've been taking Lisinopril for many years, and I have had what I call "tickle throat" for 20+ years. Could that drug be contributing to it? I am also on Amlodipine/ Is there a good substitute for Lisinopril?

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.
