Had an Angina Attack back in 2007

and have been on Lipotor 80mg. After 6mths on this my Cardio Specialist also put me on Exetrol 10mg to try and get my Cholesterol levels down to 2(these are Aussie measurements, so may differ from USA). Now my back and muscles are very painful, so could these symptoms be related to the Cholesterol Meds please? I have had a stent in my right Iliac artery way back in the 90's, and have also had 2 stents in my heart. I am sick and tired of having so many sore muscles etc. Anyone got any ideas please? I'm sure the Cholesterol meds are causing my probs eh? Cheers and crikey from Cheryl in Australia.xxx

:? Sorry, but I should have also mentioned that I also had a stent in my left Iliac artery due to a blockage, and also forgot that this was in 1998. I was put on Lipitor way back then. And when I had my Heart Stents put in, my Cardio Specialist also put me on a Beta Blocker, which made me feel dizzy all the time(he took me off this after one month). I also just remembered that I have now had Tinnitus for nearly 1 1/2 yrs. I am also Hypothyroid(on Thyroxine) but controlled at the moment by those meds. I just started myself on CoQ10 150mg at lunch time today, also L-Carnitine, Fish Oil, and Vitamin D(all directions as per dosage on bottles). Tonight as at 8.15pm CST South Australia, my Tinnitus seems to be lessening? This morning I cut my Lipitor 80mg in half, but still took my 10mg Ezetrol tab. So should I keep cutting my Lipitor tab in half or take the 40mg every day or second day and wean my self off it? Not sure what to do here. Thanks in advance for any replies. Also my pain seems to have calmed down a bit in my muscles? Cheers Cheryl

PS. Just wondering also, how soon I should go back and get some blood tests done after starting on these new supplements please.? Cheers Cheryl
