I have been on atorvastatin for 12 years and been dealing with numbness in my feet and sinus issues and a scratchy throat and weakness and tired all the time and breathing issues they said it was COPD Neurology doctors couldn't find anything wrong allergy doctors said i had a allergy to mixed weeds and trees. sleep half the day no energy so i finally decided to test myself and withdraw medications to find out if it was a side effect and low and behold stopped statin and everything stopped energy is back breathing is like a received a lung transplant I can walk better without having to sit down I don't know which is worse the side effects or risking a heart attack???? or the doctors never considering things were side effects!
