Zocor and alot

I'm 40 year old male and I'v been taking ZOCOR for almost 2 years. I am very active ,working out 3-5 times a week both lifting weights and either running or eliptical training. MY cholesterol was a genetic issue and 20mg of ZOCOR at night has lowered it to normal some what normal ranges. I have noticed that my stools in the morning have been irregular. I have noticed more muscle pains in my legs when I lay down at night. I just recently had had my first ECG and now it appears there may be some sort of irregularly. After reading all the postings, it appears that alot I have a lot of the same side affects and just brushed them off. I now have a consult with a cardiologists. Has anyone else had abnormal ECG's after taking ZOCOR ?

I was reading the various side effects and I have one more to add. Has anyone experienced vertigo--not dizziness but spinning. It lasts for about 15 seconds and it's enough to scare you to death! I've also noticed that the whites of my eyes turn red.
I've also experienced pain in my legs, heels and knees. It's so difficult to walk that I had cortisone shots in my knees and three series of epidural in my lower back. No doctor ever thinks it could be from medication. I've been on Zocor 10mg for two years
I've gone to more doctors now than I have in all my years. Everyone is a specialist. No one treats you as a whole. Now I have to go to a neurologist for the vertigo.
I'm thinking all this is related to Zocor. The only other medicine I take is Protonix.
