Hi,
7 months ago I had a severe reaction to the drug ramipril. After taking only two doses I had terrible stabbing chest pains which after three weeks settled to become a constant dull ache in my right chest. I also suffered from a swollen right wrist and this is still in evidence at the right radial artery. I also have an aching pain in my feet under the arches which feels like it is arterial. My hair has started to recede as well. I have been to my doctor and a rheumatologist who diagnosed costochondritis. Oh and male pattern baldness. I have lost more hair in the last seven months than the last 17 years. I believe it to be something else as this does not conform to having multiple symptoms. The Doctors also refuse tgo believe ramipril caused this even though the symptoms started immediately afterwards. I have also had tests for immune disorders. Can anybody help?
Thanks,
Clive.
