My blood pressure is good, but my heart rate is often over 100 per minit. my problem for 2 weeks has been weakness and soreness all over even top of my head and bottom of feet.

Hello and thank you for your question. There are many causes for your symptoms. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water and see a doctor as soon as possible. Sometimes the medications used to lower cholesterol can cause muscle breakdown and this can be very serious. Please see your doctor soon for blood tests and an exam.
