Suffer From Sore Throat And Cold. Taking Ramipril. Is That The Reason?
Hi
I have been taking Ramapril 2.5mg since last August with no problem. However 2 weeks ago I started with a sore throat and cold and then the usual dry cough that I often get when I have a cold. It usually only lasts a few days but is still there although it isnt there anymore during the night and not quite as bad during the day. I have been to my Dr and she checked my chest etc and said everything was ok and that it was probably a virus.
I did read recently on the net that not many people are aware that Ramipril stops the body dealing with a cough that accompanies a cold. My Dr hadn't heard this but clearly it must be a possibility ?
Your view would be appreciated.
Regards,
Dave

hello and welcome to healthcare magic forum!
Usually during the night the allergic levels are high! so it is common to get dry cough at night! To avoid it I suggest you to avoid any allergy causing agents like sweet or curds or milk, at night.
Also there is a good cure for the problem in homeopathy! if youre intersted please email me at
dr.rachel.queenie@gmsil.com
or visit your nearest homeopathic physician.
take care, get well
