| My doc put me on Conversyl. He warned me that 1 in 10 people have a coughing reaction to it. We both hoped I wouldn't be the1 in 10.
Two or three days after I started it, I started coughing. Just a little at first, but by about a month, I was up nights coughing.
He wanted me to try it for a 3 month period. The last 2 months were pure he**. I'd cough so hard, I'd almost vomit. I work with immune compromised people, so they would freak out as I was coughing, and I had to explain to them that I wasn't contagious, this is a medication side effect.
Finally, 3 months ended and I went back and told him what I went through. So, he switched me to Avapro. I haven't had any problems with this so far....... touch wood.
