Hello Sir,
I understand your concern,
After going through your medical details I would like to inform you that, yes, Lisinopril in some patients do cause the development of a dry cough, but it usually settles down in a couple of days by itself.
If the cough is very bothersome and severe then the medicine needs to be switched to some other group of antihypertensives.
Now as your blood pressure has gone too high it's advisable to continue with Lisinopril for few days and still, if the cough bothers you and doesn't settle down then we can think of switching to other drugs.
Hope to have been helpful. Please let me know if I can assist you further.
Kind regards
Dr. Bhanu Partap
