New User, Becoming EHEALTHy
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.
