If the cough is caused by the ACE inhibitor, it will usually go away a week or so after stopping the ACE inhibitor. If there is a cough or other problems that are symptomatic of worsening asthma call the doctor to see if the ACE inhibitor should be discontinued. Some contrast dyes might make asthma worse. It's very important that you tell the doctor or the x-ray technician that about your asthma. Sometimes they can give another medicine before administering the contrast dye, so the dye won't cause problems.
Any medicine can cause wheezing or shortness of breath in case of allergy to it.
If one notices that the asthma gets worse every time a certain medicine is taken, tell the doctor as soon as possible. The doctor can decide if your medicine should be changed.
