HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
As you stated , ramipril and similar medications in that drug family (ACE inhibitors), can cause a cough.
If the cough is due to this medication, it would stop as soon as the medication is discontinued.
You should speak to his doctor about this option.
The persistent coughing would worsen his fatigue.
He may also need imaging of his chest and blood tests as well.
I hope this helps
