Has anyone had severe side effects while taking Ramipril 1.25mg Capsules?

I was prescribed Ramipril 1.25mg Capsules to manage my high blood pressure. The drug has worked well so far, but I've been reading about the possible side effects and it's a bit concerning. Specifically, the urgent side effects such as signs of an allergic reaction, kidney problems, and high potassium levels are quite alarming. I'm curious to hear from others who have taken this medication. Have you experienced any severe side effects? If so, how did you deal with them? Did you have to discontinue use? Any tips for managing mild side effects like dizziness or headaches would be appreciated as well. Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!

I had a friend who got a serious allergic reaction after just a few doses. She had to go to the ER and hasn't taken it since. It's scary stuff.

I've heard of people who had severe stomach pain and fatigue when taking this medication. If you experience anything like that, don't wait; go see your doctor right away. It's not worth risking your health.

I had a rash and itching that went away after a few days. It was nothing like the severe allergic reactions mentioned, but it was uncomfortable. My doctor reassured me that it was a normal reaction for some people.

I was on Lisinopril before and hated the cough. I'm hoping Ramipril is better. Crossing my fingers!
