Side Effects
I take 5 mg Altace daily, but no other drugs except Advil or aspirin several pills per week. Resting heart rate is in the low 50's, about 120/80. I do not have hypertension. Fatigue seems to be the worst side effect for me. Cramps in feet and calf muscles, usually while laying down or bike riding. Cramps in abdominal muscles. Fatigue and lack of energy in general, but worst in the evening, made worse by relaxing on couch right after work - very hard to summon the desire to get up - but if I get up and get strenuous exercise for an hour or more I feel MUCH BETTER for the rest of the evening and the next day (note: I have always been a physically active person - a sedentary type person might not get this benefit). However, I can't seem to maintain the same intensity of workout than before taking Altace - this is due in large part to my Cardiomyopathy, but I feel it is worsened by the Altace. Often get light-headed when bending over at the waist. Bouts with diarhea for several wee

Thoughts
I get 4 or 5 hours of fairly strenuous exercise per week, in blocks of 1- to 2-hour workouts, which I have found to improve my tolerance of Altace by staving off the fatigue (the worst side effect for me). Light to moderate exercise offers no benefit and is a waste of time for me. Overall, the side effects of Altace are annoying, but not to bad at this point for me and are worth bearing if Altace will really prevent my condition from worsening.
