Brief Answer:
Possibility of viral illness...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic,

Headache is not actually linked with the usage of above mentioned drugs. But muscular pain is linked with statin drugs usage.
But in your case you are suffering from severe headache and muscle pains,so it may be linked with some other problems like viral illness. I suggest you to continue using Paracetamol 650mg tablets three times per day.If you dont get relief, its better to consult a physician to sort out the exact reason for this.
