My cholesterol has always been lower than 5. I have aways been sensitive to drugs in near, homeopathic concentrations, but forgot this when I tried my first 25 mg dose of Viagra. It caused a collapse (kink) in the transverse artery and induced a heartattack. When they put a Stent in my pipes to open up the kink the surgeon remarked how clean my blood vessels were, but this did not prevent them putting me on Simvastatin. I did, however insist they gave me the lowest manufactured dose. 10mg. I took this religiously for four years. Recently dropping the blood pressure medication because my BP was the same,125/81/67 with or without it. Two weeks ago my left leg below the knee became covered with petachiae.The next day, so was the other. I was also informed I was beginning cataracts. I had shortness of breath and found it hard to pick anything up from floor. I quit Zocor. One week later all sysmptoms gone. My doctor agrees it is likely an allergy. I am 76 and now feel younger!
