Ramipril

[MRK-3]

Hi I don't usually post on here just read everyone's posts. I saw the cardiologist on Wednesday and he doubled the amount of Ramipril because he was not happy with my blood pressure. I was at the dentist on Friday and had two teeth removed and since taking the double dose of Ramipril and the dentists visit I have been feeling really unwell constantly vomitting and no energy and wobbly legs does anyone think it's because of the Ramipril or the aneasthetic or both. Thank you for any input.

What type of anaesthesia did you have?

Have you got your own BP meter as your symptoms sound similar to when I had hypotension.

[MRK-3 in reply to MichaelJH]

I don't know what the anaesthetic was. I checked my blood pressure and it was 111/79

I am taking a daily dose of 5mg Ramipril for some time and have not experienced any unpleasant side effects. Check your dose.

Check your BP.

I checked it it was 111/79

It could be postural hypotension. BP dropping when you move.

Call your dentist, cardiologist -- did you tell the dentist you were on rampiril and any other meds? If you are still vomiting 3 days after the procedure, that's not good. Call for an ambulance, honestly.

I am on 10 mg daily and have been for years with no side affects, what dose are you on

[MRK-3 in reply to Boxroad]

Just 2.5mg

I think it will be due to dentist visit, give them a call and ask them

111/79 is just one reading. What are others?

The vomiting could be from swallowing blood after he extractions. Ring your dentist then your GP about the dosage. Did he chemist by any chance change your brand of tablet? i was o n furosemide and one brand in particular made me really ill
