Is It Possible That Over Time Lovastatin Could Cause Sensitivity
Is it possible that over time lovastatin could cause sensitivity to extreme weather conditions?
in march I discontinued use of lovastatin after 7 years of 30 milligrams once daily. The past 2 years outside temps over 90 and below 20 fahrenheit would cause me to seek a shady spot or my hands and feet would swell from the cold. I'm a farmer so am outside most of the waking hours.This year the 100 degree temps didn't seem to bother me as I was able to work right through the heat and thus far this late fall with 10 days of temps in the 10 to 20 degree range my hands and feet have yet to bother me. the lovastatin is the only thing I can attribute the temperature sensitivity to... just my theory. I am soon to be 62 and in reasonably good health. I do take 40 mil. of Metoprolol as I have for the past 7 years
