Will Taking Lisinipril Cause Constant Coughing?

tried lisinipril for high blood pressure caused constant coughing. I am now on losartan, now I have restless legs at night with some itching so it is hard to sleep. What would be a good alternate drug for my high blood pressure? My doctor prefers those two drugs to others because they also offer protection for the heart.

Hello I have gone through your question .if you are allergic to both lisinopril and losartan then you may switch on to amlodipine after consulting your treating doctor.But before that you should rule out any other allergic condition.
My best wishes
