I have been taking Tenormin for a very longtime. It works for me in maintaining my BP. But I have developed an annoying cough. I have heard from a few people that Tenormin can cause a cough. Has anyone noticed developing cough for no reason since taking ths med?

I have been on 50 mg of this medicine once a day for 20 years and now it is not keeping my pressure down. 180/105. I will now have to add other meds to it. I did turn diabetic also and now I wonder if it is a good one at all with kidneys of diabetics. They say ace inhibitors are what i should take now. But I had a long run and good experience with tenormin. Little side effects.

Comment:
Took atenolol 50 mg for 1 year. It lowered my blood pressure but caused massive hairloss which was immediately noticed after taking this medication for 3 months. Stopped taking atenolol and it took 1 year for fuzz to start growing back in the bald spots. Was told all beta blockers cause hairloss or thinning of hair. Now taking Diltiazem HCL 120 mg. Working well.
