Vasotec cough - HELP!!

Posted By rita on July 08, 1998 at 04:55:24:







I am being treated for GERD but have not been examined by laproscope, etc. I now believe that since I'm taking Vasotec, my severe cough is due to that medication and not to reflux. Sometimes the cough is dry and sometimes it produces a clear, normal looking mucous from the lungs. Is there any way to distinquish between GERD cough and Vasotec cough? It seems to originate in the lungs, not in the throat, and it's what I call paroxysmal.....I usually cough for a couple of minutes, it's uncontrollable, and I usually wet myself (wearing serenity pads!!). I need help ASAP, and this cough is driving me crazy (I've had it 5 weeks, but it's worsening.) Please advise!! Thanks!!
