Hi,
I was feeling the same I went on Simvastation 40 mgs last Christmas and came off them four weeks ago. My doctor wants to put me on a milder form but not sure | want this.
I was feeling ok before I went on them,...... then started feeling really really tired ,strange feeling across my chest then palpations which really frightened me I even had tests done echocardiogram and seven day ECG things seemed ok , so couldn't understand why I was feeling so bad.
Also had headaches and terrible indigestion,
I have started to feel alittle better but my doctor tells me -it can take a few months before you really see a difference. hope this helps!!

I too have had side effects. slamming headaches, extreme fatigue, heart palpitations, chest pain like my organs were pushing out on my ribs, weakness and numbness in arms and legs. I was told I have Lyme disease by one doc and that I don't by another. Then the one that said I do have Lyme told me to get off Simvistatin, that it can cause many of the side effects I've mentioned. Oh, also major memory issues. Like things that once came easily at work are difficult to remember now.
