Ramipril: side effects, blood pressure control, and anxiety

Hello @lesmal,

Thanks for opening this. Ramipril is common for high blood pressure, and real-life experiences can help people know what to expect.

To get the conversation going:

• Who here is taking ramipril, and what was it prescribed for (hypertension, heart/kidney protection)?
• Did you notice a clear improvement in blood pressure, and how long did it take?
• What side effects have you had, if any (cough, dizziness, fatigue, low BP, swelling, headaches)?
• Did it affect anxiety in any way for you (better, worse, no change)?
• What helped you tolerate it better (timing, dose adjustments, monitoring)?

Quick reminder: this is a patient forum, so experiences are helpful, but any medication changes should be discussed with a clinician.

Take care,

Somya from the Carenity team 🌼
