Nearly a fortnight ago I had to go for a BP test and as I was coming out the nurse told me I would have to go on tablets to bring my cholesterol down.
I was surprised at this but as I had an appointment the next day with the doctor I waited until I verified the tablets from her.
Since I have taken them the pains in my legs and the dreadful cramp I keep getting seemed more than usual. Apart from going dizzy at times while out walking and feeling absolutely shattered all the time.
I found the paper out that comes in the tablets and read the after effects of Simvastatin. I was getting at least four of the symptoms.
I have just phoned my doctor to tell her of the dreadful leg cramps and lethargy plus the dizzy spells that seems to have started since taking the darn things and I have to come off them right away and make another appointment to see my doctor.
I am not a happy bunny.
I think I will ask the doc if I can go on something herbal to help the cholesterol, providing it does not interfere with all the other medication I am taking.
Anyone know of something that would help so that I can tell her when I go?
