Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Metformine +ramipril twice in day from one year.
You have not mentioned that blood sugar is under control or not control .
Blood pressure is under control or not control.
Presumed that blood pressure and diabetes are under control.
1 Here one point is very important as the side effects of both drugs are G I disturbance means nausea, vomiting , dizziness .
When there is nausea and vomiting most of patients develops severe headache as your headache may be due to this reason.
When you take these tablets in the night after 1-2 hours you go to sleep so less nausea and vomiting ,hence less headache.
2 Headache may be due to lowering of blood pressure due to use of ramipril as it acts just after 1/2 hour .
So please consult your treating doctor and get his advice.
You may upload your complete reports over this site for evaluation of diagnosis.
Good luck.
