The ACE inhibitor over time depletes zinc. Have a zinc blood level run and see if you are low. Fixing that can fix smell and taste problems in some people.
The HCTZ depletes potassium and magnesium. So eating foods high in potassium is a good idea. You can take a magnesium supplement (but not OXIDE form) and see if that helps too.
200mg elemental of any chelate, or 2 SlowMags a day.
These are common nutritional problems with the drugs you mentioned.
