ace inhibitors and hypertension
Is it possible for ace inhibitors to raise your blood pressure? I just started to take ramipril at night and now my bood pressure is elevated in the morning. I used to take it in the morning and my bp was higher in the evening.
I had the problem with coreg (beta blocker and ace inhibitor). Coreg Cr is a single slow acting dose, and the same coreg dosage split to twice a day (morning and night) was more effective. Talk to your doctor.
I had a similar problem on Ramipril and was on 5mg a day. The Doctor re-prescribed the medication as 2.5mg to be taken twice daily. That did the trick for me.
