[QUOTE="JMK1954, post: 1590651, member: 352098"] Ramopiril gave me a gastric ulcer. My blood pressure always reads higher at a hospital appointment than at my GP's surgery and I had previously been prescribed another ACE Inhibitor when my BP went up for a while, because I had put on two stones in weight over a year, because my dose of Levothryroxine for a under-active thyroid needed to be increased, but wasn't. This had caused increasing abdominal pain, which I reported but was ignored, followed by abnormal amounts of painful trapped wind. All the doctors now understand what happened but I am left dealing with the consequences, I am assuming for the rest of my life. I am on permanent medication to reduce the acid in my stomach, but this does not heal the ulcer which has been re-provoked/further irritated by medication prescribed for shingles last January, and also by alendronic acid prescribed for osteoporosis the previous July. I am in daily discomfort if not outright pain at some point every day. Whatever you are advised to take, read the patient information leaflet carefully and record the date you start taking it plus any change you notice in yourself as time passes. There are always the unlucky people like me who suffer comparatively rare side-effects, and it seems the damage we suffer dannot always be reversed. [/QUOTE]
