On BP Medicines Felodopine, Ramipril, Reduced Dosage Caused Rapid Heart Beat, Palpitations. Reaction To Dosage ?
Hi. I have been on blood pressure medication for many years. I currently take 10mg ramipril and 5 mg felodopine. I am aged 56 and have been walking and riding a bike for exersize for a year and my bp has been steady at 130/80. i recently started to reduce my bp medication by half and my bp only went up slightly, but I have been experiencing periods of rapid heart beat 100+and palpitations and am feeling quite anxious. Would this be caused by my sudden reduction in medication ( the ramipril in particular) and if so how long will it take for me to feel better now I have resumed taking medication as prescribed. Thanks Ian
