Constant Coughing

Updated

My mom had a change of b/p medication to losartan 100/25 hctz. After 2 weeks of taking it she developed a wet and dry cough with the need of clearing her throat. No sputum would come out. The cough gets worst at night when she is lying down. Can't sleep at night for the past 3 nights due to cough. She also has hoarseness with no throat pain. Has taken expectorant/ dexometropan over the counter medication but did nothing. Do u think it could be b/p medication or another underlying medical peoblem?

Are you sure that wasn't Lisinopril? I've been taking Losarten prescrbed by my cardiologist for years with no side effects. Then my prephrenologist took me off the losarten and prescribed Lisinopril . I immediately develop a dry cough. Couldn't shake it off. Told my kidney Doctor he stopped the lisinopril but increased my losarten from 50mg once a day to 50mg twice a day. No problems.

The cough can be a side effect of most blood pressure and heart medications. I didn't experience it with Losartan, but I did experience with Lisinopril and Amlodipine. The FDA lists other typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, increased urination, and headache.

Unfortunately, the cough usually does not go away like most side effects typically do, so she should consult her doctor about trying a different medication.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I’ve been having a cough since I started Forteo four months ago. I also take Losartan for BP. My pulmonary doctor has ruled out lung issues. I really cough at night and continue for up to an hour. It’s exhausting.
