What Causes Mild Pain On The Right Side Of The Stomach After Taking Ramipril?
Hi , i was put on ramipril tablets by my doctor who said that i had high blood pressue. These tablets made me realy ill and after having two weeks off work due to the side effects i went back to my doctors. He said that i needed to double the dose and this would get rid of the side effects that i was having. A day later i recieved a phone call telling me to stop taking the tablets because my blood pressure had been misdiagnosed and the readings were normal. Since i have stoppedtaking them i am feeling ok again apart from a dull pain in the right side of my stomach, could this be down to taking these tablets when not required?
No the pain was not due to taking the medicine when not required. Ramipril was probably leading to duodenitis which is a kind of acidity in the first part of the intestines below the stomach. Regards
