Change the medicine: If you have high blood pressure, then there's many options for treatment. It can be tailored to your side effect profile consider switching to an "arb" class medicine. It's similar to Lisinopril (ace class) without the cough.

Yes: There are potential alternatives to treat your high blood pressure that you may discuss with your doctor, depending on which have failed. If you haven’t tried them already, one class of blood pressure medications called “ARBs” (some examples include valsartan and candesartan) may be considered. These drugs are routinely used when there’s complaints of a nagging cough while on lisinopril.
