What do ACE inhibitors commonly cause?

  1. Gastric upset

  2. Hypertension

  3. Cough and hyperkalemia

  4. Weight gain

The correct answer is: Cough and hyperkalemia

ACE inhibitors (angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors) are commonly used to treat hypertension and are known to cause cough and hyperkalemia as side effects. Gastric upset is not a common side effect of ACE inhibitors and is more commonly associated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Hypertension is not a side effect of ACE inhibitors, but rather the condition they are prescribed to treat. Weight gain is also not a known side effect of ACE inhibitors.
