Earlier this week, I had a horrific blood pressure reading that not better when repeated later that day and then again two days later (even worse). I was started on Ramipril this Thursday. It was late afternoon and the surgery was about to shut for Easter so it was all a bit hurried. I have been started on 1 x 2.5mg per day but GP was confident they'd been working it up to 10mg based on my reading.
I get migraines - always have - and use naratriptan. I forgot to ask the GP about interactions at the time (as all so hurried) as well as lots of other questions about foods to eat/avoid etc. I can feel a migraine starting (I think) although I was warned that headaches and dizziness are not uncommon when you start ACE inhibitors.
Googling as given me conflicting answers - some saying not to mix triptans and ace inhibiters and others saying it's ok.
Can anyone unequivocally give me an answer? And any advice around painkiller in general with Ramipril. My second port of call would be ibuprofen, then paracetamol, then asprin (in that order) but to be honest, it's only the Triptans that really work.
Thanks so much.
