Persistant Cough

[PTranter]

I was recently in hospital after I first found out I have AF.

I also contracted Influenza A just prior to leaving.

I don't know if this cough is from the Influenza or the meds for my AF.

Any ideas?

I'm on Pradaxa, Lorstat, Aratac, Bispro and Perindo.

To an ARB?

No these are Australian brands.

Thanks for your info Goldie.

I agree that it is probably the perindopril causing the cough. All of the "pril" meds did that to me , now on candestartan which suits me much better

Hi I am on Ramipril one of the prils, common side effect of that is a dry cough. Been on it for some time now and now getting me down a bit. I am going to try and get it changed.

Just to say a cough can be caused by the ace 's but a cough older than 3 wks should be checked out, now I read some research on iron supplements and put my husband on 10 mgs every other day you can get this low dose from holland and Barrett ( I did get 5 mgs once but can't find it now) and it's just plain old iron now vitamins with it, although good to have some vit c as that increase then absorbsion of iron, somhe takes it with orange juice and it works, the cough is almost gone, good news for him and me!

My cough has finally stopped without changing my meds. I do notice that i get tired of a night sometimes and read this could be the Bistropol
