For High Cholesterol "I was prescribed Zocor for high cholesterol, and after several weeks, I began to experience heart palpitations and irregular heartbeats. When I stopped this medication, all symptoms stopped. I have had the same experience with Crestor. I cannot take either drug to lower cholesterol."

For High Cholesterol "Been taking Zocor for a while now. Between 1-2 years. Seemed to feel OK, but heart always felt like it was skipping beats. Then about 3 weeks ago, it happened every afternoon around 4 PM, scaring me because they were lasting for a long time. I don't know anything, but this medicine, so I figured this must be my problem. So I just stopped the Zocor (simvastatin) and to my amazement, no more heart palpitations."
