What Causes Heart Palpitations And Painful Urination After Taking Simvastatin?
I got a new prescription today for SIMBASTATIN 10 mg. I took one pill earlier this evening felt like my heart was racing and when I went to the restroom to Pee it s hurting me when I pee. Now I m afraid to go Pee and I can t sleep. I read the side effects for this but anything that s happening to me is not one of the side effects on the paper. Are the symptoms that I m having from this pill?
Hello I have read through your question and want to tell you that your symptoms are not due to simvastatin as it is only a cholesterol lowering agent. I would suggest you to get an EKG done to to know if there is any cardiac cause to the irregular heartbeat. Also regarding pain during micturition you should get an USG whole abdomen done to rule out any kidney stones. Also get a urine test done to rule out any infection. I hope that answers your question. Please feel free to write if you have any further questions
