Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Dry Coughing After Having Drug-eluting Stents?
My husband had a drug eluting stent about 4 mths ago. Since then, he has developed an irritating dry cough that won t go away. He has had his medication changed three times and still the cough persists. Why is he coughing so much and is it the medication causing it?
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that dry cough can be because of some specific type of Anti- hypertension drugs for which you should consult your treating cardiologist for further management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap, Cardiologist
