Brief Answer:
Can be due to electrolyte disturbance or lipitor.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in the upper arm muscle that you have can be due to decreased fluid or electrolyte intake or due to side effect of taking lipitor. If you have been taking lipitor for a long time then you can consider stopping it for a while after consulting your cardiologist. Increasing the intake of fluid rich electrolytes and green leafy vegetables will also help.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
