Brief Answer:
Probably side effects of Liptor,you should stop the medication.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to side effects of Liptor medication.
Weakness and body tremor are common side effects of this medication. The medication can also cause confusion and lightheadedness.
In my opinion you should stop using the medication.
I suggest considering other alternative medications suh as fibrates.
These medications can be found over the counter.
I suggest fenofibrate 200 mg, one tablet a day.
It should be taken during mealtime.
I also suggest fiber rich diet.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Brief Answer:
Probably the blood pressure should be evaluated in time.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Vitamin D3 can increase the blood pressure.This can be related to the symptoms mentioned above.

Dizziness and lightheadedness can also occur if Hyzaar is not taken properly.

I suggest you to measure regularly your blood pressure for a period of time such as one week.
The blood pressure should be measured at least two times a day.

If the blood pressure values are different from a measure to another the medications and doses should be reviewed.

Hope it helps!
Take care.
