Well I saw my rheumatologist today....she said my inflammation isn't too bad but she thinks the cough is from the lisinopril 🤷♀️. That's a prescription from my primary care physician...... 🤔. My blood pressure was 118/84 she said it was ok...... I'm not sure why I have pain in my hands and wrists. She never addressed that question.
I have to go to my primary care physician next week.
Hope everyone is doing well ❤️🩹.
Barbara,
The first high blood pressure med they put my husband on gave him a dry cough. They changed it to something else. Have you tried the voltaren creme for your wrists and hands? It helps great on my ankles and knee's.
Hello KimberlyUryszValade! Hope you are well enjoying your morning. I go through the same thing, but I had c-spine fussion. With that in mind I ask my Dr to give me a script to do MRI of my spine. It was a surprise that I had nodules in my throat that was causing hoarseness/it was not only my fusion in spine, I needed a biopsy. You need a test to make sure you don't have nodules in your throat. Hope it's nothing but over talking/if I talk more then 20 min I lose my voice for the whole day.
Yes but usually it's allergies
My voice gets hoarse with my allergies and talking alot. The pulmonologist has ordered the yearly test for lung cancer but it shows a lot of things. She said between Sjogrens, RA, COPD, asthma it's no wonder the symptoms I'm having. My lungs get raspy sometimes.
