Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
This is not a common side effect of pravastatine and I think you should try to find another cause of your symptoms. it can be caused by gynaecoliguc issues or bowe issues such as IBD,gastritis or inflammatory bowel diseases. You can also try to switch antilipemic but as I said it is not likely caused by parvassttine.
Wish you good health. Regards
