Hi there....
With hypertension and overweight problems, I would advise you to get a chest X ray, ECG done to rule out cardiac problems as a result of your cough.
Are you on medication for hypertension?
Another possibility is you might be prone to allergies, and that might be the cause.
Do sign up for yoga class which might help .
Drink warm water at regular intervals.
Do steam inhalation 3 times a day.
