Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms may be related to an adverse effect of the anti lipid drug.
What kind of drug are you taking for lipids?
You should know that all these drugs ( including statins and fibrates), can cause muscular cell injury, causing muscular cramps and an increase of liver and muscular enzymes.
I recommend performing CPK plasma levels. If it is high, the above adverse effect would be confirmed.
In such a case, you should stop taking anti lipemiant drugs for a short term period (up to three months) and that restart therapy.
Usually these adverse effects do not occur again after a short term interruption of the drug intake.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes,
Dr. Iliri
