Losartan and cough

My meds were changed from Candesartan to Losartan a couple of months ago after 3 years because of BP issues/low sodium. Since then I seem to have a constant throat rattle and wheeze and have to cough to clear it.

Has anyone else had this on Losartan?

Aha, the plot thickens! My husband is on Ramipril and has a dreadful cough.
