lisinopril

I have been taking 40 mg lisinopril for 3 months.  It works on my BP but I am coughing and my nose is running.
Any suggestions on alternatives

As far as I understand it, lisinopril (like all the ACE-I) may produce dry cough but normally no runny nose, also if you are taking it for 3 months and it is now when you have those problems, chances are that it is not lisinopril.

Jesus.

Are you sure its the lisinopril causing the cough & runny nose? Have you ruled out allergy? I have taken Lisinopril for years and never had that particular side effect.
