zocor, sudden fever and chills

by Leigh Pickell

Approximately every 3 or 4 months I get chills and fever with nausea and weakness. I also have had fainting spells with these symptoms.

On one occasion I have fallen and broken 6 ribs. I have had all kinds of tests, cat scans, mri's, blood work, sonograms and nothing shows up.

I am always tired and exhausted and fall asleep at the drop of a hat. I have even fallen asleep on the wheel of the car. Luckily my wife screamed and woke me up.

Do you think that my Zocor is causing any of these symptoms?
