Hello,

The above medication not cause fluid in the lungs. Ramipril is more useful in hear failure patients. Probably your father may be suffering from heart failure according to your medication. Continue the above medication. Heart failure is the one of the cause for fluid in the lungs. Other possibilities like kidney failure, lung infections etc. Get a echocardiogram and review with reports.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
