Stable angina symptoms and conditions

I was taking Lovastatin until the VA told me that it was not on their formulary any longer and I had to take Simvastatin. Within a couple months my feet started burning and a numbness began creeping up my legs. I began falling, staggering and lost the ability to walk without two canes. I thought I was in the early stages of MS or ALS and feared I was dying. My fiance' did research on the internet (Spacedoc.com) and discovered that the symptoms I was suffering from were the result of Statin Poisoning (don't take my word...look it up) I took myself off the Simvastatin at the doctors request and began taking 4 1000mg of Omega 3 Fish Oil, 2 50mg CoQ10, 1 50mg L Carnitine, a multi vitamin, and 1 81mg coated aspirin per day. I still have numbness in my legs and some burning in my feet one and one half years later. My Neurologist has told me (and written a letter to the effect) that I am permanently disabled...that this will never go away. Statins (all Statins) are poison...don't take them....the pharmacutical companies only push them to make MONEY they don't care about you or your health. If you need more information contact me anytime and I'll be happy to share any research I have. ******

SARAH-
You really do still have chest pains after 8 months of being off of Yasmin? And an irregular heartbeat? Its so strange that several women are complaining of this. Its onset must definately be related to Yasmin...Just today, I laid down because I've had this constant ache/squeezing sensation under my left breast which feels like it moves back and fourth across my chest. I have read so much that suggests these symptoms are linked to risk of heart attack and stroke? I'm almost livid that your Doctor just told you it was anxiety. I have now read so much with so many people saying that is what their Doctor told them and my RN suggested the same when I knew all these symptoms were related to the Yasmin. Did you ever have EKG or ECG or XRAY?

SOPHIE-Acid reflux? You know what blew my mind...two years ago, not long into starting on this pill-I had an upper GI done for acid reflux and discovered I had hiatal hernia! Never until reading other women talking about it that Yasmin could also now be linked to this? And now severe chest pains? Does it feel like squeezing sensation? How old are you may I ask?

How can the chest pains just be anxiety? I know a few people who landed in the emergency room following chest pains to just discover that it was anxiety but this has now been going on long enough on and off that it sounds more like un-stable angina or something else-at least in my case. I have to go and get this checked out. Please let me know if/what any tests you have had?

Many many thanks. j
