I have been taking Statins for years, since I suffered 3 Transient Ischemic Attacks, the last one proved quite significant where i lost speech and movement on one side. i was fortunate as i recovered to approximately 95%

i have been prescribed Atorvastatin and Simvastatin over the years where i complained of cramp

i also take Ramipril to treat blood pressure

Recently I have found that I have become quite breathless. i wonder whether any of the other subscribers have had similar situations

i will soon see my Doctor and will be further discussing this condition

    Martyn,

    Is your BP well controlled? What are the reasons why it is raised?
