COPD and Blood pressure medication

Hi everyone

I have moderate Copd and have recently started medication for high blood pressure.

Ramipril 2.5mg and Amlodipine 5mg.

As s Copd sufferer should I worry about the ACE Ramipril cough? Or should I ask for ARB tablets?

Thanks

I’m in the same boat: COPD plus the drugs mentioned. No issues to report; everything normal and OK.
