I was diagnosed with high blood pressure back in February 2023 during a stay for an unrelated condition.

I was put on 1.25mg of ramipril and as far as I knew it was doing its job, but since around January or February this year it's had a mind of it's own as one minute both numbers were high, so the doctor increased my dose from 1.25mg to 2.5mg.

But around the middle to end of last month, my top blood pressure numbers had lowered, but the bottom ones hadn't, so I've had them increased again from 2.5mg to 5mg, but because I had a new-ish box (I'd only taken one or two tablets out of it), the lady clinician who I saw said to take my current tablets in twos so that my body will get used to the increased dose and to finish the box before starting the new ones.

I have been to Ramipril for a number of years now. Was initially started off as 10 mg capsules. it was then reduced to 5 mg and after further, review I am now on 7,5 mg. They suit me very well, keep my blood pressure stable, and as yet, I have not suffered from any side effects. I have to have a regular check on my kidney function tests, as it can damage your kidney. my kidney function tests have been fine up to now and am due for another check next week

Is any one else on this medication? Would like your vies on the same. 

Thanks
