Hbp #: if there were to be unwanted side effects for a prescribed ace inhibitor, would it be more prevalent with an extended release form, or not?

No difference: Side effects form the medication are no different whether given as short- or long-acting. You may feel the effect of the medication more with short-acting forms (such as lightheaded with BP meds as it brings the pressure down). The most common side effect from ace is cough which occurs with either form.
