Dave,
I went down this path in 1995 at age 48. Three months of chest pain and both arms hurting and shortness of breath led to bypass surgery and meds. I have ended up on lipitor after using all the cheaper statins first. Lipitor was the only one that worked. During these last years I have found a doctor that I feel comfortable with and have faith in. This has been very important to me and I sleep better with less worry. If you have a doctor that you are pleased with and have faith in don't let him get away. Best wishes my friend.
Ron
