I took Lisinopril for about 10 months to regulate my BP and my Dr. thought it would also help the tremors I was having in my hands. (pre-MS diagnosis) The meds worked great in keeping my bp low and helped quite a bit with the tremors too, however I developed a horrible, chronic cough while taking it. I'm embarrassed it took me so long to have my cough checked out, because when I told my Dr. that I had a nagging cough that wouldn't go away, he looked at my chart and said "well, I guess you won't be taking Linopril any longer".

I honestly did not realize that I could get a cough from taking medication.... ( I suppose my nickname "Dizzy Lizzy" might have been given to me for a reason? ) Once I stopped taking it, my cough disappeared, and I had many people make comments to me that they noticed my cough was better. I didn't realize how constant my cough had become.....
