Default dry cough
I have a friend who has had a hacking cough for some time and xrays show no problem. I had a similar cough when I started an ace inhibitor for blood pressure and it went away when my prescription was changed to a beta blocker.

She said that the only new medication she has been on is a statin to lower cholesterol. Any valid studies on cough as a side effect to taking a statin medication?
