Dry Thickly Cough Candersartan

i am a 62 year old and have been on candersatan for approximately 6 years. I developed a dry tickly cough about 3 years ago and thought it was an allergy as it comes and goes and I can go for several days without coughing. Recently it has got worse and is frequently accompanied by watery eyes and blocked nose. It is keeping both me and my husband awake at night. To be honest it's driving me nuts. My work involves numerous telephone conversations and clients are now commenting on my cough! Time to get sorted I think! Coughing has happened before on a previous medication but I can't remember the name of that. I was swapped on to Candersatan to eliminate coughing! Is there any blood pressure drug that doesn't have this side effect?

Hello, Jenni! How are you doing? I'm sorry about the issues you're experiencing.

It is a possible side effect of most blood pressure medications, according to the NIH, it is really just a matter of trying various ones, until you find what works for you, without causing such an unwanted side effect.

It took me about a year of working with my doctor to find ones that kept my blood pressure down, without making me feel miserable.

Have you spoken to your doctor about the problem? There are many other medications that you can try.
