I have been prescribed Ramipril 2.5mg today after repeated high BP readings over the last eight weeks and an ECG which didn't show any abnormalities. I was advised to take these at bedtime, even to take on the first 3 nights when I am actually IN bed because of the speedy reaction of a drop in BP!!! Should be interesting! I'll keep you posted.
Hi, I'm looking forward to you posting again soon to hear how you have done!
I too have been prescribed 2.5mg after a bp reading of 171 over 111 and was advised for the first two days to take half a tablet at bedtime. I'm now on to one a day and this is my fourth day. I get a terribly light head from time to time but apart from that it seems ok. I have a bp wrist monitor at home and so far the pressure is dropping. Due to see Doc again in 3 weeks and he has said not to be alarmed if he raises the dose to 5mg. I wait to see! :roll:
i was told to take it in the morning, felt ill all day, friend suggested take at night, now feeling at least alive
Hi Jack, just wondered how you are feeling now, and are you still on the ramipril? I had to stop taking it as it made me feel so light-headed. Doctor has put me on 20mg of Olmetec, so far so good
