post angioplasty you may be on aspirin and angiotension receptor blocker or ACE inhibitors. both can lead to bronchospam and dry cough. ACE inhibitors and ARB can cause bradykinin induced bronchospam. you need to talk to your cardiologist about this dry cough, with change of medicine it will go. moreover your lungs also need to be checked. dry cough can be due to allergy or asthma too.
