Bingo! Never had it before and now it's in my records to never give it to me again. Besides, after the heart attack, and without the Lisinopril, my BP is now on the low side of normal. A fact that my cardiologist is absolutely thrilled with.

I took that about 10 years ago and dry hacking cough was one of the listed side effects. It's inexpensive, but there are other good BP medicines out there. However, the good news is with lifestyle changes you noted, you probably won't need any. About the same time I lost 60lb and changed jobs and lo and behold I had normal BP, labs, ekg, etc. Anyway great to hear you are doing well, best wishes and prayers your way,

Thank you, Andy. After this, I can honestly say I've never felt terror before in my life.

On top of that, one of the meds they put me on has caused an unproductive, dry, hacking cough. Especially at night. They pulled that med 2 days ago, but it'll take 7-10 days to clear up. Consequently, I'm not sleeping well because the cough keeps waking me up.
