Lisinopril gave me an irritating cough. It also slightly lowered my blood pressure. 

And, so, I’m fresh from an appointment with a GP, with a prescription for an alternative drug. 

The GP agreed that my condition appears to be genetic, particularly in view of my vegan, negligible salt and sugar diet. I did confess a fondness for alcohol, but he advised that it’s fine in moderation.

So I’m now drinking beer at a moderate pace in my local.
