Ramipril withdrawal or a bisoprolol wave

In order to remove bisoprolol, which caused a lot of side effects, my GP decided to stick me with Ramipril so that my blood pressure wouldn't rise. So I spent a few months after the bisoprolol withdrawal symptoms eased, but at this point I started to notice that my heart was beating stronger and more and I was feeling my heart more. So I started to reduce Ramipril and these sensations also decreased, but after 2 weeks I started to feel palpitations and sensations similar to bisoprolol withdrawal, such as brutal anxiety, tremors, palpitations and irregular heartbeats. Will there be a wave of abstinence from bisoprolol after 8 months or will it be from Ramipril? Has anyone gone through any Ramipril withdrawal process? Are there withdrawal symptoms?

hi I was taken off Ramipril and didn’t have any side effects but given different medication not sure which one it is. I’m on bisoprolol 12.5 per day the only side effect I get is feeling tired

with bisoprolol it has many side effects, including severe insomnia and sleep deprivation, and even after insistence from the GP, I even had to discontinue it. However, 8 months later I still feel these effects and no one believes it is bisoprolol withdrawal. and more recently I discontinued Ramipril and had a kind of brutal anxiety spike for a few days that I would like to know is related to Ramipril or a wave of bisoprolol withdrawal.
