My husband had a triple heart bypass 10 weeks ago and his blood pressure today reads 150/75. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. The doctor has increased his Ramipril but this is a concern because it can affect the kidneys. Thank you.

Helli! Whilst high I would not say it was overly so and the higher one ideally needs to be around 20 units lower. I sm.puzzled by your comment though as my GP prescribed Ramaoril when I was overweight and prediabetic as ACE inhibitors like Ramapril helplessly the kidneys. I assume he has minimised salt I take and is eating healthily?
