I also develped the annoying,dry cough that really just crept up out of nowhere until one day I realized "I sure am coughing alot". But I didn't put 2 and 2 together until one day I woke up with swelling to both lips AND the cough. Within several days of stopping the lisinopril, it all went away.
Finally after trying Norvasc (ugh) and having swelling to ankles, I was started on Benicar 20mg along with the dyazide and I've never been better. B/P running 100-118's systolic.

Wayover,

I am really getting pretty well convinced that the combo of an ARB and a diuretic is really the way most of us are happiest controlling our BP's...my choice is Cozaar and Lasix!
