Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I think it is the added statin that's causing you the trouble. You are taking it as castravastatin. Statins are known to cause body aches and muscle pains. Now from the message I am not sure why it was started. I therefore suggest that you meet the prescribing doctor and stop the medication. A lower dose can be initiated at a later date.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
