A nuclear stress test has been done & we will receive those results in 2 days. Any thoughts on what could be causing this new symptom?

Blood pressure today-108 / 60.
They initially wanted to put me on Lisinopril, but I was on that previously and I had a terrible, nagging cough the entire time. I've read that ACE Inhibitors are preferable to ARBs, though, when it comes to CHF. Should I try another ACE, or would all of them be likely to cause a cough since the Lisinopril did? Or is the Cozaar good enough? (Some places even suggest taking an ACE along with an ARB...is that a good idea?)

I am a 50 year old male, a well-controlled type 1 diabetic (on Novolog and Lantus) for 38 years, and on a generic form of Synthroid (.150 micro), and also on BP med - but what I am mentioning below starting happening way before I was on that BP med.
For many years now I have had very hard stools. I pass them at least once a day, but they are so hard they cause pain, they are also very large to the point that they clog the toilet. They always sink, instead of floating.
I have been on HydroCodone-Acetaminophen 10-325 for about four months for severe back pain due to osteo-arthritis and bulging disks, etc. in my spine. I started out taking two pills a day - one in the a.m. and one in the p.m. I decided to reduce the dosage as I had a dreadful withdrawal about a year ago while on Oxycontin. Is it possible to feel symptoms after cutting out one pill a day?

That high BP, suggestions please?
I have been on cozaar for 15 years. 4 years ago I was also placed on HCTZ, due to increasing BP. 7 weeks ago, after getting quarterly labs done, my PCP said my calcium was too high and took me off the HCTZ. She also said my TSH levels were high and placed me on synthroid. Last week I had office visit and my BP was 150/90. My doctor then put me on metaprolol. I started getting headaches every day. My BP remained at 150 to 160 over 90 to 100.
