I hadn't seen him since the previous December.
I get the joke, having had the Ramipril cough on and off for 3 years. Small price to pay for my big improvement (EF from 19% to 55/60%).
It was a bit more heavy duty than that, I had to sit up to sleep. To begin with I thought it was fluid retention returned, and started taking furosemide again but I hadn't put any weight on and it made no difference at all. Meanwhile my wife started an incessant violent barking cough about a week after me, which caused her throat to spasm and interrupt her breathing. We must have driven the neighbours mad with it for about 6 weeks. Then it just went. No other symptoms so I think we just saw it off. We both take vitamin D3 supplement, maybe that helped. I dismissed the possibility of COVID at the time but the chap insisted, said he'd seen it with COVID.
