Ramipril

[Guest guest]

My doc put me on Ramipril, an ACE inhibitor. She warned me that a

small percentage of people develop a cough because of it. Well I

appear to be in that small group. It's a dry cough like something

is stuck in my throat. It wakes me at night and during the day what

works best to relieve it is gum! Sugar free of course! A drink of

water helps but gum really does the trick. Yes I am going to ask

for another type of med next time I see her, she said there was

something else I could try.

I stopped the pills yest. to see if the cough went away and today I

have not coughed at all.

Has anyone else had this happen to them?
