High Blood Pressure?
 

Have searched threads but can't find anything .. can anyone direct me the right way?

Hi Saffy

what specific info are you looking for regarding high blood pressure?

Once we know that, we can hopefully point you in the right direction as to the best forum here to check

Thank you .. thank you ... medication really? My husband was on one lot of medication for a good 2 years and kept going back to the Doctor with this dreadful cough. They kept prescribing him anti biotics and steroids .. and it was only when he had to see a different Doctor to the one he usually has that she noticed the Blood Pressure pills he was on and said, these can cause a violent cough.

He's on some called Amias (canderstan cilexitil) now and has been having problems.

What terrible thing to be overlooked this way.

Most common blood pressure drugs are ACE inhibitors causing cough. But the ARB's like your husband uses are very similar and also cause cough, but less often.

Here is a link with more about side effects from this drug:

Thank you MrsD - much appreciated.
