Hi,
I understand your concern and would explain that Valsartan may lead to coughing and nasal congestion. I would like to know if your symptoms started after starting Valsartan.
Anyway, I would recommend first consulting with an allergy specialist and performing allergy tests, before concluding that Valsartan is the main cause of your complaints.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
