Does Combination Of Kiwi Fruit And Ramipril Cause Dizziness In A Diabetic?

I am a diabetetic for 44 years and am taking ramipril. Recently, I have been eating kiwis and since then I have noticed that I have been feeling dizzy...even sitting at the computer. I have heard this combination is very bad for me....is this true and is there something I can do to stop the overdose of kiwifruit I just had around 9:00 ct?

As far as you dont consume the fruit with the medicine there is no affects.
It is always advisable to have medicine with water not with juice or fruit or milk.
Being diabetic you can eat one or two servings of fruit in a day.
If you eat more at a time or if you eat with the meal it can cause increase in blood sugars and dizziness.
