I was constantly 85-87 kgs. for last 25 years before using the above medicines, but with sudden weight gain for last 4 months of the use of above medicines.

thanks for your query in HCM,
change in above medication doesn't cause weight gain
you have been given ramipril H now, which doesn't cause any weight gain. one thing you can do is to do regular excercise and proper diet with less fat n salt will help in reducing weight.
thank you
