For the answer to the question above, I think It works by blocking the body from producing a chemical called angiotensin II. This enters the bloodstream and makes your blood vessels become narrower, w/c gives your blood less room to move (raises blood pressure). The ACE inhibitor stops this chemical, and in turn relaxing the blood vessels and lowers blood pressure.
