544430 tn?1283712658 ve read posts here where people take a specific type of levothyroxine and have side effects from the dyes in the pill, so that's a possibility. However, I think further work up is probably warranted.

Avatar f tn Hello, If you Google for ' ramipril side effects ' or simvastatin side effects ' you will get more details. Ramipril has been indicated to cause sexual problems, but both these drugs can affect liver function and in turn affect sexual performance.Further more, statin drugs can cause muscle weakness and may lead to a drop in overall energy level.
Avatar f tn Anyone have a related experience to share or know if weight gain is a common side effect of Ramipril?

Avatar f tn I quite taking due to the side effects. Is it normal to get headaches when stsrting this medication?
Avatar f tn Ramipril is very capable of causing serious side effects including raising bp. It raised mine by over 80 points. The side effects of this drug can happen immediately or after a long period. Also I would question it's use in kidney disorders of any kind as it can damage kidneys and cause stenosis. Check out as much as you can about safer alternatives. As is common these days many GPs are unaware of the potential for damage that these drugs have.
1020296 tn?1251475359 what dosage is the beta blocker? It looks as though there could be an imbalance of the medication maybe. What is the dosage of the blood pressure medication (ramipril)?
Avatar m tn Also, there could be side effects from the medication so if there were added medication or an increase of medication that could be the problem. Also, there could be a respiratory problem that should be ruled out. Years ago I had a dry cough due to heart failure, but it usually happened at night while in an inclined position. There were other symptoms that included faster than normal heart rate and shortness of breath.
Avatar m tn One other thought, sometimes statins can have side effects I see she is taking Crestor and Ramipril check out thats not the cause .
Avatar n tn Mine has been leveled out at 120/80 after suffering with elevations approximating 160/100 for almost a year after it peaked at 210/120 when I took a bad side effect reaction to a new medication I was trying. I will not mention the name of this medication because it does not effect all people the way it did me - I was the unlucky exception it seems.
Avatar f tn I'm glad your BP is coming down. You were dangerously high and, actually, I hate to say it but you still are considered hypertensive. they will want to continue to lower your bp. I started bp meds the beginning of December. I noticed I felt very strange on the meds including dizziness and chest pain. For me, they were side effects of the medication. With your BP still being high, I'd check with the doctor. What medication did they start you on?
Avatar f tn I had to stop taking ramipril 1.25mg after a week due to various side effects. thurs I had severe shaking or chills etc. so stopped it on advice but 4 days later feeling bit better but I keep feeling funny. its like my head feels funny and the feeling like your lightheaded - going to faint or collapse but not quite and doesn't go away.
Avatar n tn A dilated vessel offers less resistance and as a result blood pressure in lowered. The timing of the effects may be of less help at intervals you describe. Also, dosage may inadequate.
Avatar f tn 5mg everyday, for to treat the diabetic nephropathy, i can get ramipril in my town but its 5mg ramipril capsule in the chemists, and his medications are over, so should i let him take the 5mg ramipril? my big concern is would the dose cause hypoglycaemia or any other effects as the dosage will be double the dose hid doctor prescribed? please help me on that, i will be grateful...thank you.
Avatar f tn Second time I asked the doctor (not who prescribed) about side the effects. He said the body will adjust slowly with new medicines. Nitroglycerine helps sometime. Yesterday the pain didn't come back after taking one. Today at 24 degrees I feel cold and feverish. It happened last wk also.
Avatar n tn Usually the attending physician gives information regarding the possible side effect of the drug while prescribing the medication. It could also be Arthritis due to many causes. Are you the one suffering with or some one else? Hope to hear you back with these details or consult your doctor. Take care.
