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.
