Hello,
I am concerned with your issue yes you can have such issues with simvastatin as this drug can cause myopathies with can affect your muscles. you need to run your CPK levels in the laboratory.
If it's raised with a value of more than 1000 then you need to stop the drug as per guidelines.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
