Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Coversyl's ingredient is perindopril , as you are taking optimum ( highest ) dose.
Sometimes coversyl itself develops upper & lower extremity pain, hypertonia , paraesthesia .
In you complaint .one day you feel energetic , while other day down , so all these symptoms may be due to coversyl.
Please get in blood for rheumatic factor, C B C , E S R ( if E SR very high may be rheumatic arthritis or osteoarthritis), uric acid level ( may be gout)
Consult a physician and get his opinion.
Good luck.
Dr. HET
