Is Statin Safe To Be Taken For Upper Back Pain And Nausea?

Hi I have had severe upper back pain between the shoulder blades on and off x 2 days, relieved with vomiting. I have also had nausea, chills and bodyaches. I am able to keep down fluids and some solids now. I had rhobdomyolysis in Oct 2016 with the same symptoms and in the hospital for 2 days, and was taken off a statin drug. I was recently put back on the statin 1 month ago. Concerned if should return to hospital.

Hi,

Definitely, statin can cause muscle pain in many people.

You must consult with your doctor for all that so that he can titrate the dose of statin accordingly.

Thanks.
