Hello, Lashawn! How are you?

Statins don't work to lower blood pressure, they are only used to help lower cholesterol, so it shouldn't cause any issues with your hypotension.

But it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and joint/muscle aches.

Is there anything else I can help with?
