Hello all:

I know we've discussed this before - when I was taking Lisinopril I developed a nasty cough. When I visited my Endo, she changed me to Analopril (I think, don't have the bottle here right now). I had stopped taking the Lisinopril for 3 days before I started the new drug and the coughing improved, although it didn't disappear.

Now that I've been on the new drug for a week, I'm finding that the cough is back, but this time I'm also noticing a headache. It feels much like a sinus headache, and the cough ONLY shows up when I lean back or lay down. I've experienced that virtually every day for the last 5 days. Not a disabling headache, about a 5 out of 10 on the pain scale, and focused in and around my eyeballs.

So obviously I'm slightly suspicious that the cough may actually be a result of a sinus issue, yet, I'm having NO other symptoms. No drainage, no hoarseness, no daytime coughing, and the night coughs are TOTALLY non productive.

So I wrote all this to ask, did anyone else have side affects that ONLY showed up as a night time cough? Or should I visit my Dr. in the hopes that perhaps I have a sinus infection of some sort that is the real culprit.

Your thoughts will be appreciated.



It could be related to the drug, but it sure as heck sounds like sinusitis to me. Get it checked out right quick, too. I'm about to have surgery on all my sinuses because such symptoms were dismissed and undertreated in my case for years.
