Chronic cough.How can you treat a chronic cough due to hypertension medicines? thank you? -

if these are new and you ve just started them give it time.. the body will adjust... drink fluids and eat, suck on things that ll help lubricate the throat, esophagus, trachea... if it s medications you ve been taking for a real long time talk to the doctor it could be your body is changing the medication is being absorbed quicker in the body or the body has another unrelated problem that makes the medication effect you in this way. also please make sure it s not gerd related too... don t try to eat past 7pm at night and don t drink too much alcohol and see if things change.. sometimes medications (actually most times) effect the stomach and digestive system and that can effect the throat.. acid reflux can be present and that ll give your throat the whatnot also and make it very itchy, tired, sore, and you may have ulcers in the throat.. tell the doc have them scope out your throat and see if there s anything and tell him or her if there s any burning sensation in the throat and stomach. but if you re new to the meds or they changed them on you recently just give it some time and do what you can to make yourself comfortable. when i first started taking hypertensive meds i was on 8 of them hummers and wow everything dried up on me, throat, nose, skin, feet cracked up, eyes hurt so on... good luck. and do get yourself checked out in these elements just in case.

change medicine, their are many choices of B.P. meds, I had to change amp; now the cough doesn t wake me up anymore.

I have never heard of this side effect of hypertension meds??? What are you on? I am on Catapres and Lopressor and I don t have any cough symptoms. Either does anyone else I know.

some of the anti hypertensive medications can cause cough as an adverse effect, normally in that case the medication need to be changed. Now there are so many different choices of antihypertensives, hence you should bring the symptoms of cough to your physician so the right medication be given. Its usually the ACE Inhibitors that cause cough. Take advantage of the advances in the field of medicine. : )

Home remedy; Get some honey syrup and mix with garlic. Try to make a jar, place garlic in the blender with little water then add to the jar of honey and take spoon of it everymorning and at bed time. This should help...

Hi I went through that too. I think all the answers are very good here and will help you. I would like though, to help you with the following information. I don t know your age but every one over 35 need to clear their arteries. I know there are 30 year old people suffering from high blood pressure though. Once the person starts suffering from high blood pressure the risk of blocked arteries which lead to heart attacks and strokes is great. The best thing is to start as soon as possible to avoid the blockage of the brain and heart arteries and veins. This was impossible and people had to face dangerous surgeries and or premature death. Thank God there is now a wonderful product which helps prevent heart attacks, help stabilize blood pressure, helps lower cholesterol, helps unclog arteries, helps improve circulation, helps improve memory, helps stop angina pain and helps the heart stay healthy. The products is called heart and Body extract. You can find information on this100% natural product at www.heartandbodyextract.com/ra8028 Read the many testimonials of people who have been recovered from cardiovascular deseases as congestive heart failure, enlarged hearts, high blood pressure and more.
