Suggest Treatment For Cough, Nausea And High BP While On Lisinopril
Question: When I wake up in the morning I have fluid in my lungs that I cough up. It is clear and does not seem to be related to an infection. Upon coughing it up I have a gag responce that makes me feel like throwing up. It has been going on for sometime now. I was wondering if it was a heart related issue. I do have slightly high blood pressure and take Lisinopril 20 mg tablets which I know one of the side effects is coughing.
Brief Answer:
Listed possible causes for you sir, but they will require evaluation
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am always here to help. I do have a couple of questions and I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide me with a response, so I can better understand what exactly is causing your cough and the fluid being expelled in the morning:
+What is the colour of the phlegm or sputum being expelled in the morning?
+Are or were you a smoker? If yes, since when (in years)?
+Have you been diagnosed with a condition called chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD)?
+Heart condition: Congestive heart failure can cause such a presentation
+Any allergies
+Asthma
+Infections: But will present with other symptoms as well, so I am not too sure about infections
As you can see sir, all the causes are different and require investigations, so please do speak to your doctor about the possible cause. I do strongly suspect congestive heart failure, and so urge you to visit your doctor for a more elaborate evaluation.
I hope this response helps you, and also hope you can find some relief from your presentation. Please do not hesitate to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.
Best wishes.
