I started on the  Ramipril 5/12.5 mg I felt no different, apart from an annoying tickly cough, which went away after a couple of weeks. Basically, I didn't feel any different to when I wasn't taking them.As far as my low bp episodes go, these are far and few between. I would go as far as to say that I wouldn't know it if I didn't  check my bp (I have a bp monitor) My bp doesn't drop really low, just bumps along the low / normal threshold. Sometimes in the morning if I get up too quickly I feel a bit light headed, this light headedness is infrequent, but that is the worst of it. I certainly don't feel I'm going to pass out or anything like that. I was put on  Ramipril 5/12.5 in 2019. I am still on the same dose now. So long and short of it, I feel happy that my blood pressure is normal. I feel no different  from when I was not on them .  The very odd occasion my bp drops, I wouldn't even know it if I didn't check my bp.</blockquote>
