The other thing to keep in mind is that all ACE inhibitors are not created equal. You may have side effects with one and not with the other. I know quite a number of people that had a lot of problems with Vasotec, myself included. In most of us our potassium went very high which caused a lot of problems. If problems persist, see if you can switch to another type of ACE.

Don't get too hung up on the levels of protein in your urine. It is an indicator of problems, but it is not that specific. I went on dialysis in 2001 and I neve had more that a gram of protein in my urine. Some people put out a lot, others don't. The overall results from the 24 hour urine test and the accompanying blood work are much more important, as is your BP.

Good luck.
