Hi
I appreciate your concern
thanks for using health care magic
I read your question I think I have a better solution for you
zestril causes dry brassy cough due to increased bradykinin level that is generally destroyed by ACE
that may lead to difficulties in breathing
if it unbearable please ask your doctor to switch over to other antihypertensive medicine
Hope this helps you
good luck
take care
