show more I have met and heard of people with the gift of spiritual discernment. Some of them can sense the presence of good or bad spirits. They can discern if an environment was used for good or evil.
Captopril, the first synthetic ACE inhibitor. An angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor (ACE inhibitor) is a pharmaceutical drug used primarily for the treatment of hypertension (elevated blood pressure) and congestive heart failure. This group of drugs causes relaxation of blood vessels as well as a decrease in blood volume, which leads to lower blood pressure and decreased oxygen demand from the heart.
ACE inhibitors affect the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and block the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, which is involved in vasoconstriction. ACE inhibitors are associated with a dry, persistent cough in 5%-35% of patients who take them. The mechanism of cough is likely multifactorial. ACE inhibitors prevent the breakdown of bradykinin and substance P, resulting in an accumulation of these protussive mediators in the respiratory tract.
