most common are facial flushing, SOB, chest pressure. Transient cardiac conduction rhythms. Sense of impending doom
ACE Inhibitors
hypotension, cough, vertigo, HA, fatigue, dizziness, angioedema. May increase Lithium toxicity

palpitations, tremors, anxiety, headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, chest pain, hypertension, tachycardia, cardiac dysrhythmias
Amiodarone (cordarone)
hypotension, anaphylaxis, anemia, arrhythmias, hypotension. Extended use may cause hepatic and/or renal failure
