Could The Heaviness In Legs And Arms Be Due To Missed Atorovastatin Medications?

my husband missed his metrol atoravastatin asprin and clovix medication 2 nights ago and the next day he had this very heavy feeling where his legs and arms wouldnt move, and slept quite a few hrs....his diabetes level went sky high, he didnt realise till the next nights meds that he had missed the dose and although he did have his morning meds,
he is ok now the following day as he is now back on track- he had heart attack and had 2 stents placed 3 months ago due to blockages
he has had over active thyroid killed off with radioactive iodine 3 months ago as well but hasnt started thyroxine as yet ..i am hoping this was because of missed medication

Hi
Thanks for asking HCM
Missing atorvastatin and aspirin gives you heaviness in legs if cholestrol level is high. You shouldnt miss it as you are diabetic also, which makes your blood more viscous. Atorvastatin has so many benefits according to current study. Continuos therapy with it also helps in well control of diabetes mellitus.Let me know if you have any further query.
