I think you're wrong - I never has asthma in my life, I don't smoke and I'm not overweight. I started taking Losartan and within 2 months I had exercised-induced asthma.. do a web search.. I found other people in the same situation who developed the exact same symptoms when they started taking Losartan.
Losartan reduces blood pressure by decreasing fluid retension and increasing blood flow. This medication also has a side effect for dry coughing!
The drugs of choice are ACE inhibiters, starting with Lisinopril and if that has side effects, (usually coughing) go to Losartan. Before starting any blood pressure meds a doctor should try calcium, D3 and magnesium supplements, which will satisfactorily resolve blood pressure issues in 15-20 percent of patients, with moderate exercise and simple dietary restrictions.
When I get up in the morning my head unloads, clear long stringy strands of liquid drain from my nasal cavity and down my throat causing me to cough up big amounts of phelgm and this coughing goes on all day especially after I eat and wheezing lasts all night, I cough about every 30 minutes to clear my throat and spit it out. I used to get a sinus infection about every other year from mowing the lawn. I use Afrin spray to dry my nasal cvavity, it helps. It trhis caused by allergies? Infection?
Whether or not the amount of mucus and the coughing will improve, I don't know. I hope so. It really is the coughing and the mucus that make my life a misery at the moment.
Here in France, the doctors are good but are like a dog with a bone. They will not stop until I am cured or in my coffin I think! If anyone has a clue, please share it with me.
I experience anywhere from 100 to 800 PVC's each day and can get pretty depressed some days.
Since 2004 I've been on numerous prescribed medicines, stopped coffee, cigarettes and alcohol and sex (just kidding), all in an effort to reduce or remove the symptoms of PVC's.
I don't want to get my hopes up but 2 days ago I went to the chemist(drug store) and bought some vitamins from the health section. One of the supplements I choose was coenzyme q10 (See http://en.wikipedia.
Instead or propanalol your physician should have prescribed Lisonopril or Losartan. Try Lisonapril first. If there is coughing (a side effect) go to Losartan. Incidentally a blood pressure reading is meaningless without specifying the heart rate. Check your D3 levels and take supplements if the number is less than thirty. If your physician has prescribed propanalol with taking a D3 level get another doctor.
I never had a problem until this new doctor switched me to generics in October of 2010. Everything went downhill. I was on Atenolol and Lisinopril-coughing for 2 months. Kept calling and was told my body had to get used to it.(He only had me on 50mg, where I was on 200mg before. I went to some pharmacy school and knew something didn't sound right.) Hands and LEgs were now ice hold. Never had a problem before. bruising. After 4 months I could not take it anymore.

Was there a risk/benefit analysis to warrant this?
I suggest you have Mg and K levels checked, in both tissue and serum.
Your doctor will likely only order the blood test, however these
electrolyte minerals are found also in all the tissues.
As a matter fact magnesium in only about 1.5% in the blood circulation, so chances are your doctor will tell you that it is fine. There are mechanisms in place to keep mineral levels steady within a narrow range in the blood.

However for the past 2 weeks it started to happen more and more until finally it became a constant flutter in my throat. I went to hospital and had blood tests, chast x ray and ecg all came back fine and they said it could be down to reflux.
Tried to get over Christmas as best as I could but its gradually getting stronger in my throat so I saw an out of hours doctor who said my Thyroid gland looks a bit swollen so I have to see my GP today to see if he will send me for tests.
As far as the Lisonpril goes--I still have not had the prescription filled because one of the side effects is a dry cough and right now with all of the nausea I can't handle coughing all day on top of it. Once the nausea subsides I am going to talk to a pharmacist about this medicine because I'm still not sure I really need this.
I feel like my body's thermostat is broken and I'm constantly overheating. I've been taking Claritin and Benadryl but that doesn't seem to help at all. My doctor also gave me a prescription medicine called Atarax, which only makes me drowsy and doesn't help the itchy feeling. Any suggestions? Btw, I've taken blood tests to see if there is anything wrong but everything came out fine.
