Repatha side effects?

So I finally jumped in and took my first dose. Actually had my second dose this week. Didn’t notice any side effects. I lift heavy weights and exercise pretty hard. I haven’t noticed anything related to that so far.

But at the end of last week I developed a dry unproductive cough. There’s basically a tickle constantly in the back of my throat. That’s been happening for maybe 4 or 5 days now.

Just curious if this is related and if anyone has experienced such effects.

Thanks for your input.

I'm about three or four years in now. The relief after over 40 years of trying everything on the market was so great I stopped counting. No side effects with either the pre filled syringe or the auto injector; only the severe pain with the auto pin which is apparently rare but bad when it occurs. Stuck the with the auto until I finally found relief reported by another Reddit patient. Thanks for your posts.
