Hello,
Ramipril can cause muscle cramps due to electrolyte disturbances. However, heavy feeling and soreness of the leg is concerning for more serious issues like deep vein thrombosis, cellulitis/infection.
It is very important to follow up with the urgent care/ emergency room as soon as possible. Early intervention can avoid complications.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
