I have had a nagging cough for over a year. I was taken off Lisinopril just the other day. I'm hoping the cough goes away. Happy New Year.

I was on Lisinopril and developed a cough, my GP stopped it and after a few weeks prescribed Candesartan, I now only have a cough if I have a cold.

I hope you both have a Happy, Healthy New Year
