Hi I have been on Ramipril for several years but have now developed facial swelling in my cheeks that become more pronounced as the day goes on. Then in the morning after lying flat sleeping it has gone down only to gradually reoccur during the day and into the evening and so the cycle continues. I have heard that this can be a side effect of Ramipril but when I spoke to my GP he more or less said he was reluctant to change to an alternative blood pressure med from an ace inhibitor(Ramipril) so lets just see how it goes! Get back in touch in a month...
Anyone else out there heard of this? Any advice insight much appreciated...
