It's funny you should say that but I do get those symptoms from time to time but hadn't taken much notice. I have been taking it since Nov last year. So you might be right. I put mine down to indigestion.

It’s the weirdest thing.... like pins and needles in face and left arm and like ‘chills’ in my scalp! Like I said, Doc reckons it’s anxiety but it’s definitely not. Thanks for coming back to me, at least I know I’m not going mad!! 😀

I thought it was just me! I've never worked out what causes it, but I've been on Ramipril for 17 months so could well be.

Likewise! Right hand on the back and wrist but only in bed and sat in the evening?

I’m on Ramipril and apart from the ‘Ramipril cough’ I also have the pins & needles effect in my upper left arm at random times. You are not alone!

I get it down both arms and across my chest, usually at night or when I wake. Not 100% it's the Ramipril, but it is likely.
