Hello,
Usually these medications do not cause these problems, but if these started after you started one or both of these medications, I would be suspicious of them, and consider switching to another medication if possible.
What you can switch to depends on the reasons you are taking these meds, so I would recommend discussing this with your doctor and see if they think the meds might be responsible, and what if any medications could be used instead.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
