Anyone taken Perindopril long term and suddenly developed chesty cough?

[Cruise1]

Have been taking Perindopril more than 10 years for blood pressure without problems. Have had a chesty cough for several weeks now and GP diagnosed post nasal drip and prescribed a nasal spray after having tried a week of antibiotics. The cough is still persisting, affecting mine and my wife’s sleep and GP wants to change the tablets. I am loathe to do this as they have worked well. My wife was prescribed blood pressure tablets several years ago and developed a dry cough with several of them. It took over a year to find something that didn’t affect her. She no longer takes anything by choice and monitors her blood pressure regularly.

I had 2 stents fitted in January and am on Perindopril, Clopidogrel , Lanzaprozole and aspirin. Monitoring blood pressure and no problems other than cough.

Hi I think any ACE inhibitor can give a dry cough at any time early or later

In fact any ACE ending in ril can give a dry cough

I had the same and changed to an ARB Losartan similar benefits and cough went away a couple of weeks

So any ARB ending tan might be worth considering

Just my experience
