sjogrens

Could sjogrens be why I have coughed continually for 10 years?

Linthyro,

No, cough isn't a symptom. Sjogrens causes dry mouth, dry nasal passages and dry eyes intially. mayoclinic.org/diseases-con...

Hi, Thanks for replying, I just wondered as I've never heard of sjogrens. I do get unbelievably tired and I am always thirsty though my blood sugars are always OK. Thanks again.

Hi Linthyro. This is just a thought and might be off the wall but.... have you been taking any ACE inhibitor meds? Don't know UKnames but in US I took lisinopril for years and coughed and coughed until one doc got to the bottom of the problem. It is now on my allergy list as the cough was so chronic, bothersome and I never really knew when my next coughing spell would arrive. I lost weight and now my BP is under control without irina1975meds. Recently mp PCP wanted me to start them for prevention. I said no.

Hi, No, I only take levothyroxine and occasionally omeparazole and my BP is normal, but many thanks for helping
