Could Anxiety, Heart Racing And Breathlessness Be Symptoms Of Ramipril?

I have been taking 5mg ramipril for a few months and have recently been experiencing a bitter taste in my mouth. Also I have occasionally noticed a feeling of anxiety, heart racing and breathlessness and shallow breathing. Could any of these symptoms be down to ramipril?
