Which category of blood pressure medication is most likely to cause annoying dry cough as a side effect?
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are the category of blood pressure medications most likely to cause a dry cough as a side effect. This occurs in a subset of patients due to the accumulation of bradykinin, a substance that can irritate the respiratory tract. If a patient experiences this side effect, healthcare providers may consider switching to an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), which typically does not cause cough.

How do you safely get off blood pressure medication?
When you discontinue blood pressure lowering medication, your body will naturally respond with a rise in blood pressure back to whatever levels would be present without the drug. Most blood pressure lowering medication has a dose-dependent effect. It thus can be eased off gradually, allowing you to take other measures to lower your blood pressure. If your blood pressure was high enough that you needed drugs, it is necessary to take other measures to lower your blood pressure in order for you to safely ease off the medication. Fortunately, there are numerous safe and natural ways to lower blood pressure without requiring any medication. These include diet (low salt, low sugar, low caffeine, low alcohol, and high in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and fish), and lifestyle changes (regular aerobic exercise, and low stress levels). There are also some herbal remedies, such as hibiscus tea, which are effective at lowering blood pressure but are much safer than prescription medications that have the same effect. Very few people actually need to be on medication in order to lower their blood pressure. Antihypertensive medication should be a last resort, for cases where other natural approaches have been exhausted and blood pressure is dangerously high. If you take a serious effort to lower your blood pressure through diet, exercise, and stress reduction, you will probably be able to ease off blood pressure medication very safely.
