Hi
Welcome to health care magic, thanks for query.
Atorvastatins are statins group of lipid lowering agent.
Generally atorvastatins are well tolerated .
However in some cases may cause muscular pain , even myopathy .
strange feeling in the chest , headache , and pain in both knee joints may be due to the side effects of atorvastatins.
Consult this thing with your treating physician and get his opinion .
He may change the medicine .
Hope this will be useful for you,.
Further if any question , I will reply happily.
Good luck.
