been taking Altace for about 1 year. never experience the terribl3e cough i hear so much about. however do have the following with a 2.5mg. feeling of throat closing or jammed, very cold feet at times, lightheadedness all the time. i also take Toprol xl 25mg so the combo could make it even more so. all my tests come out normal, so it has to be this medicine. i guess you either have to live with it or go through a trial and error period with other medication.

Altace Chemical Information
ramipril - A prodrug and nonsulfhydryl angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor with antihypertensive activity. Ramipril is converted in the liver by de-esterification into its active form ramiprilat, which inhibits ACE, thereby blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. This abolishes the potent vasoconstrictive actions of angiotensin II and leads to vasodilatation. This agent also causes an increase in bradykinin levels and a decrease in angiotensin II-induced aldosterone secretion by the adrenal cortex, thereby promoting diuresis and natriuresis.
