I Recently Had A Heart Attack. I Was Prescribed Atorvastatin,

I recently had a heart attack. I was prescribed Atorvastatin, and i am taking 30 mg per day. I was also prescribed clopidogrel at 75 mg per day. Along with these I was prescribed carvedilol 6.25 mg, taken twice a day. I am starting to feel a tingle in my throat that causes me to cough. Many years ago I had to stop a medication because it caused me to cough. I was changed to Benicar 20 mg and the coughing stopped. I have continued taking the Benicar, but I am wondering if I can stop any of the other meds that may be causing a cough. It appears that the Atorvastatin is for colesterol. Which of the meds would cause this cough.?
