I have been taking Ramipril for 6 months and have put on a stone! I exercise 4 times a week and eat a healthy diet. This is really getting me down and disheartened with all my efforts to keep active and healthy. I am going to see my doctor because I am skipping tablets to prevent any more weight gain which could cause me to have a stroke...
I have been taking ramipril for 6 weeks and have put on about 1lb week.
I have had not headaches but stabbing pains in my head, and pains in my hands. I am considering asking for a different tablet.
I have been using ramipril since the last 2 years & have in fact lost weight, I also did not have the symptoms that you mention, however it is not recommended that you stop the med before talking to your doc./pharmacist who prescribed the med.
Certain med have different reactions to individuals depending upon the constitution & other factors such as age, you must seek medical advice, hope this helps?
