Side effects

Possible side effects of ACE inhibitors are:

• Dry cough.
• Too much potassium in the blood.
• Extreme tiredness or dizziness from blood pressure going too low.
• Headaches.
• Loss of taste.
• Rarely, short-term worsening of kidney function.

Rarely, ACE inhibitors can cause swelling under the skin. If swelling happens in the throat, it can be life-threatening.
