Ramipril side affetcs

Hi all, new to this so please bear with me! Had a bleed in my head in November due to massively untreated high blood pressure, was put on Ramipril and Amalodepene to control the hypertension. Recently dropped Amalod and thought the ‘pins and needles’ would stop. However they have continued and now in my cheeks/face as well as left arm and fingers. Also kind of chills in my scalp (can only describe as similar to a shiver). This is not a constant thing but nevertheless quite regular and really uncomfortable. Doctor has put it down to anxiety but very positive it isn’t. Anybody else having this kind of side effect?
