Based on the history you have shared, though these are not the common side effects of this medicine. If symptoms have started right after taking the medicine and didn't exist before that then these two can be related and you need to consult your prescribing doctor as to stop or advice alternative.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
