Hello,
Benazepril is an ACE inhibitor. Benazepril lowers blood pressure and also relieves symptoms of fluid retention.
Water pill like hydrochlorthiazid can low the level of potassium but I don't think it is stroke.
To be sure you can make an electrocardiogram and take the therapy like doctor has prescribed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
