What Causes Pain In Chest And Left Arm After Removing Statins?

I have coronary heart disease for many years and have been on statins all that time. Recently my PCP took me off the statins, and now after three months I am having chest, left arm pain. Can being off the statins be enough time for the cholesterol deposits to increase enough to cause this pain?

Cardiologist,  's  Response
your pain is not because you stopped statins.but it's definitely an i
mportant symptom for you to visit your cardiologist and get a check up done.get a ECG done and see if there are any new changes in that as compare to previous one.you might need to go for a TMT as well. Don't ignore your symptoms,specially when already have coronary artery disease.
