Lightbulb it is probably the

hydrochlorothiazide that is doing it.

HCTZ commonly causes gout. You can discuss with the doctor, changing
to plain zestril for a while, and see if your blood pressure stays good, and
the uric acid readings go down.

Since you are doing well, you may have no problems with a slight change/adjustment in the meds.

Just my opinion.
