For High Blood Pressure "I started ramipril on 2.5 mg a day when my blood pressure was still high, so they put me on 7.5 mg daily. I had a blood pressure reading done, and yes, it's still showing 160/98. I have been on them for a month. Does anyone know why it's still up?"

For High Blood Pressure "I've been taking 7.5 mg ramipril for about 6 months. I found that it worked when I took my BP at home in the morning, going from 160/120 down to 109/80 - 125/85. But since I have gone back to sea, it's up again to 160/110. I have a month left at sea, I'm a little worried as I know people who are older and a lot less healthy than me on a lower dose. It makes me worried, job in the balance. I haven't had any side effects so far."
