Dear sir/ Madam
Thanks for writing to us.
1. Perindopril and indapamide (prexum plus) is usually not known to be associated with such side effects. Hence he is right in his observation (your physician). i would like you to see your gastroenterologist and seek his opinion.
2. Even if he is not able to pin-point the cause of your trouble, then i would like your cardiologist to consider withdrawing these drugs and replacing them with some other agents. (it will be a trial). the reason i am advocating this trial is that many a times people have unexpected side effects which are not reported or very rarely reported in literature.
