My friend who is in the UK has been diagnosed with high blood pressure, At first she was given an ACE inhibitor. That made her develop a dry cough. After a few weeks, I told her, I had the same reactions from those bp medicines and that she should ask her doctor to change the prescription. Noe the doctor has changed her meds to one of those sartan drugs, an ace regulator, and she is still coughing. All the doctor tells her is that she has to be patient! But she is in so much pain in the abdomen from all that coughing and she hardly sleeps at all. Is it reasonable to ask her to get a second opinion?
