I read the reviews here prior to taking Ramipril and almost refused to take it because of the number of negative reviews. Let me say in the one month I have now taken the 2.5mg of Ramipril, I have had absolutly no adverse side effects. Both the upper and lower readings on my BP are down from 12 to 20 points. Perhaps only those with side effects give reviews so I felt compelled to share my posi...

Initially I took Amlodipine for my high BP. I struggled with swollen ankles and cramps, so my Dr changed this to Ramipril 2.5mg in October this year. My feet are now numb under my toes, which is a horrible feeling. A new Dr sent me for (more) blood tests to check my levels. All came back normal. She said if they were normal we could try stopping the Ramipril for a month to see if my feet improve. Only stopped taking it twice, suddenly felt unwell and started to shake all over, my Bp suddenly 210/110. My son rang for an ambulance, he thought I was having a stroke or a fit. was advised probably withdrawal symptoms. I had to re-start the Ramipril to get my BP back to something like normal 140/80. So scary, now not sure what to do.Read More Read Less

Doctor prescribed me ramipril plus bisoprolol/clopidogrel but did not ask me for any of other health conditions or tell if I have bad site effect I should contact him. I immediately felt tired, dizzy, stomach pain, unable to sleep and burping. After few weeks I thought I will die from all those side effect as I burped all night having such stomach pain that I was not able to sleep at all. I put all medicine to a rubbish bin and I prefer to die from a heart attack!!!! Shit big pharma drugs!! I had no acid in stomach, I discovered later on, so a bad bacteria was causing me HBP.!!Read More Read Less

I would highly recommend this medicine as it treats high blood pressure and is best for people suffering from hypertension.

I started at 10 mg a.m. only. Dosage too high as time release capsules released too soon...heart attack symptoms. Now can not eat butter or cream or cheese or get same symptoms. Now get swelling in feet...did not have this or food prohibition before on Accupril which was discontinued. After a few days, I opened pills and took only half the powder a.m. and other half p.m. ...worked way better but still can't eat butter, cheese or cream. The doctor seemed oblivious to any side effects. This doctor prescribed 4 meds before even getting test resuls back! When they came back, my cholesterol and glucose were only a tiny bit over normal. My regular doc will be back from holidays soon and I am going to request some tests and maybe a change...but I'm not looking forward to another nightmare!!Read More Read Less

Not been on long but am experiencing fatigue and bad headaches (between stress and migraine level). Eyes seem sensitive but that could be due to the headaches. Hope it’s just my body adjusting to the med and symptoms will lessen.

I have been on this for over 10 years and it has worked but Tuesday I had my BP checked and it was extremely high, even higher than what it was when I was first on it! I now need another pill adding but with Ramipril I didn’t get any side effects not even a cough like a lot of others have reported. I hope you all get on a drug that suits you.

Although Ramipril reduced my blood pressure to acceptable levels, after 3 months I developed a hacking cough, itchy skin (but no rash) and watery eyes. My doctors didn't guess it might be a side effect of the drug and sent me for two chest X-rays to determine why I was coughing so violently! I googled the effects of the drug and stopped using it immediately. Awaiting for an alternative to be prescribed.

Within the 3 hrs of taking the drug. Sitting in my office experienced most traumatic attack. Started with funny feeling in my tongue following shortness of breath within 60 seconds. Fortunately was at work, and got all the help needed ended up in ER with diagnosis of â??no any of prill drug everâ? . Before that day, never had any allergies in my entire life. If I had started this drug 24 hrs later could have been alone with my 26 months daughter.

I've was on this medication for 6 months. I was suffering from a terrible cough causing my asthma to be out of control. Going to doctors for relief and taking all kinds of meds . My primary finally realized it was the ramipril. After two weeks of being off the medication no more cough.
