atorvastatin calcium trihydrate (40mg) for high cholesterol

Lots of muscle and joint pain, worsening condition. Until recently I was walking 5km in an hour twice a week. Now when I go up one flight of stairs at home I'm done in.

Occasional muscle pain in my chest and around my shoulders. The drug is effective because my cholesterol has drastically reduced, especially ldl.

I had a heart attack last year and have taken these tablets daily for the last few months. Ever since I’m sweating heavily 24/7 and I get nagging headaches. I feel like a different person and am deeply ashamed. Help, I want to get rid of all this sweat.

atorvastatin calcium trihydrate (10mg) for high cholesterol

I've suffered with some degree of tinnitus for years, but it's bearable. But now, after about 5 weeks of taking this medicine, the noise has grown to an unacceptable level.

At the moment, every day is just too much for me.
