What Causes Eye Floaters And Cough While On Perimdopril For BP?

Hi,I ve recently started taking a blood pressure tablet (Idaprex perindopril 4mg).Never had BP meds before this and have been on them now for 4 weeks.The last week or so I ve noticed a number of issues.Firstly and most alarmingly my vision has gone strange. Best described as like a colourful tinge and more floaters than normal.Secondly, for the past couple of weeks I seem to have a problem maintaining an erection.Thirdly I ve been coughing persistently with a chesty cough.I m unable to get back to my GP for the next 2-3 weeks but I d like to stop taking these in the meantime to see if my vision is corrected.Is this wise until I can see my GP and perhaps get an alternative?
