Hi
Greetings from HelthcareMagic!
Well it is not because of the medicine of cholesterol which is causing you this, it may be that you are in a pre-diabetic stage. Better get your HBA1C checked.

Hello,
Do you have a family history of diabetes? Check your HbA1c level. What is your lipid level? What is your age? What other medications you take?
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
