Zuvamor Side Effects

I have had a triple bypass 7 years ago, and a week ago had a pacemaker fitted due to slow heartbeat.the dr has prescribed zuvamor 20mg one at night. Yesterday I has an episode similar to a hot flush with a severe pain (almost like a trapped wind) between my breastbone. It lasted about 20mins. Also a shortness of breath. All my meds is still the same but Crestor has been replaced with zuvamor. As it is evening here, I am unable to get hold of my doctor and the symptoms are receding now. Could it be the side effect of the zuvamor? Please advise

Hello, Allan! How are you feeling?

Zuvamor is listed as containing the active ingredient Rosuvastatin, which is used to help lower cholesterol.

And yes, as listed by the FDA, it may cause those types of side effects in some people that take it, along with nausea, dizziness, headache and joint/muscle aches.

However, with your cardiac history, it would be best to speak to your doctor to be sure that the chest pain and shortness of breath were only due to the medication.

Is there anything else I can help with?

My husband is on 10mg zuvamor daily for his cholesterol. His liver Gamma GT is 178. Could it be a side effect of the zuvamor? He doesn't take any other medication.
