Typical: ACE inhibitors very frequently cause a cough. This is not necessarily dangerous but more so just annoying. I would have your physician change you to another medication such as A beta blocker or a diuretic. And angiotensin receptor blocker can also be a good choice depending on your blood pressure, your race, and other factors. I hope that helps!

Known effect of Enap: One of the side effects of Enap is coughing, which is typically characterized as dry, tickling, and persistent, and it occurs in as many as one of five patients taking that medication or others like it. It is worth letting your doctor know about it when you can. While it is not dangerous, it can be unpleasant, and your doctor will be able to assess your symptoms and review therapy.
