Well, the first thing I have to question is why your doctor has you on both of them?

Both Ramipril and Perindopril are ACE inhibitors, so it is essentially just doubling up on the same medication and that is actually what might have been causing your headache problem.

If you have hypertension, or a heart condition that needs to be controlled multiple medications are often used, but not of the same exact class.

Have you spoken to your doctor again, yet?
