Yeah, I was really worried about the cough possibilities. I have exercise-induced asthma, and was just about sure I'd have a problem. Luckily, I'm fine. The climate here completely dried out the day I started Lisinopril, and I though I was having trouble -- then realized it was just the weather and bad timing
I'm sure stopping smoking helped you out a lot.
