My GP did not believe me when I told him about the side-effects I experienced after being prescribed Ramipril by him. Even after I fainted, he said to stop them for a few days and then restart. When I eventually saw a Consultant Physician, the Ramipril was discontinued and I was prescribed Candesartan - no problems since. Everyone is different.
Nailit, I'm so sorry you are going through this, personally, if you were a relative of mine, the first thing I would do, would be to change your GP. This is not normal, and it's no wonder you are worried. Is your surgery just one family GP, or is it a practice where you could you book in to see someone else?
Also don't assume the doctors are always right in their prescribing, Many people I know including myself have been prescribed medication that has not only caused worrying side effects but was actually wrong for the ailment it was prescribed for and just made things worse. If you have had problems since beginning a medication then chances are its the medication.
