I am 73 years old but have worked out with free weights 5 days a week for 25 years and fast-paced daily bike rides of 20-30+ miles for 15 years.
I began noticing loading 40 pound bags of topsoil in my truck would produce chest aches and nausea 2 days later. Cutting heavier branches with anvil trimmers or other chores involving chest muscle strains made me feel bad. This has gotten progressively worse. The past few months, almost 5 years after stopping Lipitor, I have developed tender palms and soles of feet, especially in early AM and now have quivering in calf muscles especially at night and early AM, as well as twitching of calf muscles off and on.
Jan. 1 I started taking branched chain amino acids (BCAA) and l-creatine and switched to ubiquitol form of CoQ10 but have seen no results as yet.
Lipitor appears to be very dangerous.View Thread
