A member asked:

Chf/ckd patient suffering from cough that increases at night. treated at hospital for pneumonia. should metoprolol be switch to nebivolol/nitroquick?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cough: if the cough was due to medication, it would be all day around , not just at night. Most likely etiology of cough is GERD. Try PPI ( Prilosec OTC etc) daily at HS . If not relieved , see and ENT doctor to get checked out for cough at night.
