Had a heart attack? 10 years ago, now 57. Cardioligist wanted bad C under 100. 2 years ago 80 mg Zocor was really killing me. Lost taste sensation, fingers got arthritic?, muscle cramps. But, bad C went to 90. I felt like ***. 1 year ago I stopped Zocor, finger movement came back, cramping stopped, still can't drink cola as taste is still affected. Dr started Zetia (non Satin) which works in the gastric track. Side affect minimal and is minor gas at nite and stool slightly loose. bad C went to 120 but Dr now wants bad C to 70 or less, as new studies show. Put me on Lipitor 10 mg a month or so ago along with the Zetia. All fine till last week... Now upset stomach all day, with Nausea and sometimes dry heaves. Head light headed, dizzy like in a fog, and can't walk without holding on to wall. Outside I must look like a drunk. Cramping on finges is returning. Had 2 strips bacon one morning and remembered it through belches all day with aggrivated symptoms. I got the message.... And STOPPED the LIPITOR 4 days ago and no more nausea, I can walk without loosing balance and finger movement slowly returning. I can live with the vivid dreams......
