A lot of people have problems with Ramapril. I should just go back to your doctor and get put on something else. Brian

Hi i was on Ramapril for a couple of years and all was fine but suddenly my face and lips swelled. After investigation they found it had started working against me so i had to stop taking it as they said i was allergic now to it. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ no idea why tho .

I worked up from a very low dode, 2x1.25mg a day I think, up to my present dose of 2x5mg a day. Ramipril is a great drug, I havent had any side effects. Don't give up immediately, take half in the morning and half at night. Good luck

I only took one ramipril, I get indigestion/acud reflux any way but that made it 100 times worse. That was before I had AF, when diagnosed they again wanted me to take it but when I explained prescribed Perindopril instead. So far no problems with that.
