What Causes Pressure In Ears While On Apo-Ramipril For High BP?

I am suffering with the sensation of pressure in my ears and also pain especially in the right ear. I ve seen an ear specialist and after examination of the ear he concluded the ears were good. The only thing he noted was the ear canals were very small and he wants to follow up with an ear test. I have high blood pressure and in the last few months my pills were changed. They removed the fluid component of the blood pressure pills. I take apo rampril and I was wondering if there is any connection to the problems I am having with the ears? I also smell smoke when there is no smoke around me.

Cardiologist 's  Response
Hello,

I would explain that your symptoms could be related to ramipril adverse effects (the pressure in your ear).

For this reason, I would recommend switching to another anti-hypertensive drug.

If this situation does not change after stopping Ramipril, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist and performing a brain MRI.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
