Several months ago my husband (non PD) was driving himself and everyone else crazy with a persistent cough for which no one could find a reason. Then I read on this forum about a persistent cough being a side effect of the blood pressure medication Zestril. He had been taking Zestril for over a year. His doctor prescribed a substitute medication and the cough disappeared. winddam wrote: > Emily ger > > Thank you for your response.
