Hi sunil,
Thecholestrol lowering 'statins' eg Lipitor etc. are known causes of muscle pain. I'm wondering perhaps if that could also be causing some disturbance ,too

Thanks you Sunil for this very interesting thread about medications for cholesterol and HBP. I had not known of the side effects of these meds before, I have a high cholesterol level and have been trying to avoid using meds till now. I do eat well but am not a vegan or a vegetarian and do like my meat, perhaps I need to change my diet even more. I dont fancy taking statins that might make my muscular pains worse!
I have a great herbal shop near to me and maybe I will seek advice from them as to a herbal alternative to statins? Have you tried any herbal remedies?

Many thanks Sunil for this advice, I am not currently under the care of a cardiologist but have had readings taken via a non medical professional. I know that my current weight is too high and I can only guess that my BMI will indicate that my cholesterol levels are not normal. I am prepared to seek alternative remedies to reduce this so as to preemt taking medications etc. I am reaching the fifties so need to take stock of my life etc.
