Welchol and irregular heart beats

I have been taking Welchol for about two years, I have not
attributed some of these side effects to Welchol untill I now
but I have irregular heart beats, severe gas, pain in my left
hip, trouble sleeping and recently hyperthyodism with a
goiter. I believe I will stop taking Welchol, my cholesterol is
not that bad it was only about 230 when my doctor put me
on Welchol because of a stroke in my optial nerve in my eye.

On statin drugs & had severe muscle pain after 3 or 4 mo. stopped. Then on welchol & after 3 or 4 month gas, indigestion and irregular heart beats. Stopped two weeks ago but heart beat not yet normal.

On statin before, usually my side effects didn't begin til 3 or 4 months. Had severe muscle pain and stopped them. Then on welchol for the past 3 or 4 months and started with very frequent irregular heart beats, gas and not digesting food well. Dr. not concerned, but I has stopped for two weeks. Heart still not back to normal.
