I am 26 years old and I thought I was having a heart attack last night. I seriously thought I was going to die. At work my feet and hands started to swell up really bad, but that went away pretty quickly. Then I started getting dizzy and feeling nauseated. My heart felt like it was going to beat out of it's chest and all I could do was think about it! I went and had my blood pressure checked at Walgreen's and they said it wasn't high enough for me to go to the ER, but I was scared. I was told I was having a panic attack to take deep breathes and try to take my mind off of it! Well that is hard to do when you are convinced that you are having a heart attack. Now I am experiencing pain in my lower back and having sharp stabbing pains near my left ovary and in my left shoulder down to my elbow.......when will this end? I just want my body back again!

36 year old male. Only been taking Lipitor for one month. Stopped taking it one week ago after feeling strange side effects. Shoulder pain, tingling fingers, heart racing at night, left arm pain. Feel clumsy when I normally have excellent hand eye coordination. Tendons feel funny in arm when clenching stuff.
Still feeling some side effects but not as bad now. Before kept waking up from sleep with pain in left shoulder and tingling in left hand, but now not so bad.
Any alternatives?
Would appreciate it. Dr's do not seem to know what they are talking about. Said that the lipitor would not be causing my problems. I just got told to stretch and it would go away as I do not exercise enough. What a load of crap, can't they stop going by their scientific approach to everything and look at the big picture?

tightness in the chest and extreme pain in left shoulder. I have encountered blurred vision on several occasions. A complete lack of stamina accompanied by depression for which I on paxil for but this medicine has exaserbated my depression. I would like to know if there is a correlation between the interaction of these drugs

was prescribed levaquin for a supposed sinus and eye infection. 19 hours after 3rd 500-mg dose, i awoke w/ pain in left shoulder and difficulty moving arm normally and wondered what i'd done to my arm. took tylenol and went back to bed. awoke 3 hrs later, and right shoulder was somewhat painful. called pharmacist who said to stop the med and the symptoms should reverse themselves. after reading all these postings, i'm not so sure about reversal.
now i'd like to know what to do to help reverse the symptoms in my arms.
Mirena (1) Levaquin (1) Lisinopril (1) Welchol (1) Lipitor (1)
