What Are The Side Effects Of Cholesterol Medicines?

I was diagonised with HBP 160 and high cholestral level. Was given medication- Lozart -H for 30 days and Lipiget (atorvastatin) 20mg for 30 days too. H Have taken for 2 days now and today morning woke up feeling dizzy and passed out. I also have a continious dull headache. Are these side effects and will they go away? thanks Doc.

in my opinion you need to follow up with your docter for dose adjustment.
atrovastatin is a safe drug and will be advised in your condition.
however you also need to do some lifestyle modification like regular cardio workout. healthy diet and reduced salt intake.
these will help you improve your condition .
hope i was helpful in your query and kindly rate my answer.
thank you
