Suggest Treatment For High Cholesterol And Hot Sensation From Soles Of Feet

Hello, my name is Diane and I m 51 years young and in good health. I do not have diabetes but do suffer from high cholesterol which is being controlled with Simvastatin. Lately, I ve been getting a hot sensation in the soles of my feet, radiating to my toes and outer soles....it does not radiate up my legs. (this only happens to the right or left side at one time, not simultainously)....????? What are your thoughts... Thanks, Diane
