I can tell you right now...
1) You are taking a STATIN.... these damage muscles. I suggest you
visit the doctor ASAP and have a blood test called CPK. If you are experiencing muscle damage--the byproducts of this can permanently damage your kidneys.
Do you have any darkening of the urine? This would be a bigger warning sign.
In any case you need a doctor's appointment ASAP.
2) 50mg HCTZ will deplete potassium, thiamine (vit B1) and magnesium.
Also affected are zinc, CoQ-10, and phosphorus. (these are less critical, but still important).
Low magnesium then raises blood pressure further, and causes muscle cramping.
In extreme low levels it can affect the heart.
