Cold

[Yildez]

Is it a side affect to be cold all the time ? Was only diagnosed Thursday put on 40 g statin and 1.25 ramipril

Many people report feeling a bit colder because of their heart medication.

But lI look at it this way, medication helps us live, so it's actually keeping us warmer than the alternative!

Just wanted to know if it was normal, so thanks

Welcome to the thermal/wool sock and mitt club..... and bedsocks if you are particularly badly affected. I've never owned so many pairs of them and have them strategically placed, car, shopping bag, just by the front door...... it does improve slightly over time.

What medication is it that causes this? Ramipril?

Yep I think it’s the blood pressure tablets. My husband says he’s lost his hot water bottle in bed. 😂 I’m just glad I feel cooler these days.

Yep, normal response to the drugs. The price you pay unfortunately. In my case it's hands that get really cold really easily. In the overall scheme of things its a minor inconvenience.
