   My wife was prescribed 10 milligrams/day dose of ramipril and nearly passed out in town, palpitations, difficulty breathing and pain in the chest. She was admitted to hospital with a view that she might have had a heart atack. They put a camera up her femoral artery but her heart was clear, no problems.

   her blood pressure was 90 over 45. we stopped her taking the Ramipril and all her symptoms dissapeared. It was as if the tablets were producing the palpitations and the chest pains which she was taking more and more tablets for.

   You are meant to start on 1.25 mg for a month, then 2.5mg for a month, then 5 mg for a month then 10 mg for a month - jumping in straight at 10mg seems irresponsible and negligent
