Hi sallyyy, I was put on ramipril beginning of last year the 2.5mg dose my blood pressure had been high for a while but I didn’t want to take meds (scared of side effects) but I was hitting 170/101 so knew I had too , but god I had a bad time on them all the symptoms you describe they just got worse the longer I was on them but I also developed the dreaded constant cough it didn’t even bring my blood pressure down that much , because I had the cough I now can’t have any of the ace inhibitors bp meds , my doctor put me on amlodipine 5mg all went well for 8 weeks then dizziness, nausea intense abdominal pain and horrible jitters started , my blood pressure was jumping around all over the place on them too, I have since took myself off them and completely changed my diet and exercise and have maintained a bp of 123/84 average without meds , im absolutely not saying you should stop taking them depends what’s causing your bp to be high mine was mostly diet and anxiety, I dread having to take any again but would if I have too, there are many different bp meds ask your doctor for a different one if ramipril is not suiting you , the one thing i stopped was adding salt to my food and that alone made a big difference to my bp, ask your doctor to try a different med and hopefully it will be one that suits you better, hope you find some relief xx
