Bloodpressure

The rampril I’ve been taking has made me so breathless I can’t walk about even though I’ve stopped taking them. I don’t know what to do! I am desperate.

Hi. I'm not aware that high blood pressure is associated with CMT, however, I have both and was taking Ramipril for a while but my BP actually went up on that, so I'm now taking Candesartan. My BP has gone done and I have no side-effects, I suggest you speak to your GP. Incidentally, have you been checked for CV-19? That can cause breathlessness due to reduced SP02 (blood oxygen) levels even though you may not be showing other symptoms.
