Common Questions and Answers about Altace medication ramipril
altace
Have you checked in with your eye MD?
I was on Altace and had problems. Then they put me on the Lopressor (metoprolol) along with the Altace. The altace lower my blood pressure too much, so I stick with the beta blocker and leave out the ace inhibitor. That works for me. But man oh man, I cannot run out of the beta blocker without servious side effects. Maybe in this case using both would help more.
Ramipril 5 mg once daily (Altace)
Simvastatin 20 mg Once daily (Zocor)
Metoprolol Succ er 50 mg tasan Once daily (Toprol)
Ecotrin 81 mg Once daily (ASPIRIN)
I additionally take Centrum Vitamins
Of late I have observed that I am lacking general focus and concentration (like my brain goes to sleep). I feel mental tiredness. I have to tell my brain to be alert when I make mistakes counting money bills etc.
I have a suspicion that this is due to the side effect of one or more of the above drugs.
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.
I was put on Ramipril 5mg as my BP was high. Wondering how long it takes to work. My pulse is low a 59 but my BP is still high. Is this normal? Im worried if they put the dose up my pulse will go even lower.
If you have been taking the medication more than 2 weeks, you may need a change of medication or an increase in dosage. Systole pressure is the pressure at rest and not effected be vessel resistance.
Often if there is chest pain (angina), the pain subsides almost immediately with rest from the exertion that caused the pain. However, there can be chest pain both with or without exertion. You may want to discuss the matter with your doctor expecially if you have shortness of breath as well.
My blood pressure used to be around 150 over 120 with a heart reate of 85 at rest. My doctor put me on Ramipril and Altace if I have the latter one correct. My blood pressure now is 120 over 85. However the resting heart rate is still abou 85.
The fact that you pass out twice a year indicates that something is wrong which needs to be investigated.
I'm quite convinced that if you mention your problems to your employers, they should understand. Your health is far more important.
My EF was in the 30's, and was slowly advanced to 25 mg Coreg twice a day, and 10 mg of Altace. My EF increased, but like you I had extreme fatigue issues, and I had several fainting episodes at night because of low blood pressure. The Coreg was reduced to 6.25 X 2 and the Altace reduced to 5mg, and I'm getting along fine.
How much Tylenol were you taking? Were you abusing it?
more and more i see ramipril 2.5 ordered to help kidney function...could you elaborate for my own knowledge please...
You are wise to take your blood pressure medication. Did your Doctor tell you to take a break for so long? I assume not because any competent Doctor would have noticed the increase well before now and put you back onto medication. Your systolic pressure is high-normal now and your diastolic is normal-optimal. This is much much better.
I had a similar problem on Ramipril and was on 5mg a day. The Doctor re-prescribed the medication as 2.5mg to be taken twice daily. That did the trick for me.
IS IT OK to take hypertension medication (such as IC Cartia 360 mg, Atenonlol 12.5 mg and Altace 10 mg.) 5 hours before having an Endoscopy? Would the pressure go to low with the anesthesia or go to high without the hypertension medications?
Thank you jrbon. Yes, we are completely aware the part/size of damage of the heart muscle will have the impact on the LVEF.
You have mentioned the biggest part of recovery takes place between 6-3 months. After the HA she had, last week was the first time we took the echo, which is precisely 3 months and 2 weeks after the HA, with an increase of 2%. Is it too early to predict by looking at this measure? I heard the ejection rate anything greater than or equal to 50% is good.
The mixture of Metroprolol, Ezitrol, Lipitor, Ramipril, Isordil, Plavix, Nexium and Aspro and now Coralan leaves me feeling quite week and lathargic and always very tired. My BP is steady at around 100/60, my cholesterol is below 4. I did used to walk about 2km a day before I started Coralan even though I got angina, but now I feel I just dont have the energy to do the walk to see if I still get angina.
Not sure what yer answer might be but thought Id write this down anyway.
I take Toprol XL 200 mgs. and Altace 20mgs. and have for many years however recently I have experienced an increase in blood pressure. I have lost some weight and continue to diet as well as exercise. My doctor has tried two calcium channel blockers with the results that I become very ill and unable to continue these medications. Any suggestions?
Still no proper cure. She takes insulin, Cresto and pressure medication Ramipril. She does annual checkup with Cardiologist too. Please advice.
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.
I am confused by the drug RAMIPRIL. The leaflet in box and details in British Formulary list WEIGHT LOSS as a side effect (I have lost 6 kilos).
On the Internet there are many letters regarding weight gain but nothing about weeight loss. Why is this?
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.
That's what we're wondering. The doctors said the ramipril is not just for blood pressure but is also for his weak heart to see if it improves the EF. They've sent him for additional tests and even recommended a higher dose of ramipril despite the fact that his oxygen level was 114 when he did the bicycle test. The doctor kept talking about him being in a state of heart failure which is very unsettling.
4, the nexrt test was 5 he was okay about it, four weeks ago was put back on high blood pressure tablets but prior to starting them they carried out another Kidney blood test and four weeks later l was told bp down to 134/84 on 5mg ramipril but the blood test four weeks ago was high again and has to be repeated.
