Can't take decongestants due to blood pressure treatment. An Olbas Oil

Anyone else afflicted. Any solutions?.
No runny nose - just bad cough caused by catarrh (salty) u throuat

needs coughing up.

Had it over a year now ever since they put me on blood pressure
meds. So
far I haven't tracked it down

Well known side-effect of Amlodipine.

Amlodipine did a lot worse than just that - evil allergic rashes and my
legs swelled up and I am now on perindropril.




Interesting. I've been on amlodipine for a few years but it's only the
last year I've had this stupid cough, and a tiny bit of ankle swelling.
Next door's cat is on it too (2.5 mg per day)

If ankles are swelling see GP IMMEDIATELY.

That's heart failure (as opposed to a heart attack) and you need to find
a better way to reduce BP.
