question: I am taking ramopril I am 82 and go to the gym every day. It is not reducing my blood pressure and not making me feel very well.  My doctor has perscribed Cardicor but I have read it will slow my heart down( I haven't got a fast heart beat, just high blood pressure) and to be extra cautious with elderly people.  not happy about taking this drug, haven't started it yet and would like an alternative
