"Went to doctors with ear ache and tinnitus, came out high blood pressure 220 and vertigo. Been on tablets almost 3 weeks 2.5g also given up coke cola 2 bottles a day, no salt, 8 hours sleep. not 3 hrs a day. Also cut down on alcohol tinnitus is still here but BP has gone down slightly, 158 was last check. No side effects apart from tinnitus gets loader after 2 maybe 3 hours after tablet. I don't seem to have dizziness or any other symptoms probably as I smoke bud and used to it (best to be honest) I'm on 28 day course I will get back to you all. feel free to comment"

"I am diabetic following pancreatitis. Ramipril has lowered my blood pressure from around 145/90 to around 135/85 in just a weeks or so, but as soon as I started taking it I started having a lot of hypos. I have had to reduce my doses of Levemir from 18 units twice a day to 12 units twice a day. No other side effects."

"Hi! I've been taking 7.5mg ramipril for about 6 months, I found that it worked when I took my BP at home in the morning, went from 160/120 down to 109/80- 125/85, but since I have gone back to sea it's up again to 160/110, I have a month left at sea a little worried as I know people who are older and a lot less healthy as me on a lower dose makes me worried, job in the balance. I haven't had any side effects so far."

"I started ramipril started on 2.5 mg a day when my blood pressure was still high so they put me on 7.5 mg daily. I had a blood pressure reading done and yes and it's still showing 160/98. I have been on them for a month. Does anyone know why it's still up?"

"I'm 72 and just started taking this . I was very reluctant as I don't like taking any medication and very wary of all medications. However I took it and it works fine for me. I don't have any side effects. I already have a bit of a cough from asthma and doesn't seem to be getting any worse. Only been taking it for a month and it's working so I will see how it goes."
