I have full head body and limbs numbness and tingling , with more intense tingling sensation in my face . All of leaves me feeling extremely exhausted. Initially it was in my face growing further down my body. I woke up the following morning with an very intense painful sensation from my lower back down my legs through to my toes, which made me feel like , I’d gone on a 25 mile marathon in my sleep! I’m a fairly fit guy overall at 67 years of age recently have been diagnosed with high cholesterol ’ inherited from my late father. Was prescribed ‘Anti statins’ initially at 20mg then updated to 40mg after 2 weeks . 2 weeks later I started getting pins and needles with numbness , thought it may have been related to the Anti statin increase to 40 mg . I tried to discuss it with my doctor, but as always unavailable sent him a email saying that I have concerns over increased dosage and was going to return the lower dosage . Waited for a response none came … saw another Doctor which didn’t connect my symptoms to a Stroke? Just re-prescribed with another drug.. Question has anyone had a similar experience with ‘Statins? All my research leads my conclusion to a Stroke..
