I'm on an 80 mg. dose of Pravachol, and get weird muscle aches, too. Chalked it up to being on the downhill side of 50 while still trying to do things like I was 20, but now I think I'm going to have a little talk with my doc at my next checkup. Seem to be getting more lethargic, too. I chalked that up to marriage , but it's only been since I was put on cholesterol meds several months ago.

YES, tell your doctor about anything unusual. Cramps, pain, etc. Anything different. You can be in charge. Ask to try something else. I did.

Get your testosterone checked.

No, I am not casting slurs on your manliness but it is very common for older men to have drops in testosterone. That can cause all sorts of nasty things to happen.

Of course it could also be that being recently married you are not getting enough sleep. :)

I am a vet and the V.A. due to a heart attack and stint placement had me on 2 blood pressure meds and high statins.
after reading about the long term side effects of my meds I began taking 1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper twice a day and dropped my meds. My last checkup had my blood pressure excelent and my cholesterol normal.
take the time to read about the health benefits of cayenne, I feel great and am off most of my meds
