Dear sir
Ramipril 5mg belongs to group of angiotensive converting enzyme inhibitors which does not cause tachycardia in general
Palpitation and tachycardia in hypertensive patients are very common and can be controlled by beta blockers if there is contraindications or associated conditions such as thyroid disease and pituitary gland disease.
Addition of cardioselective betablocker will help.
Thanks
