Cholesterol What Is Normal

I have been prescribed 20mg zuvamor. Cholesterol at 6.2. Started taking half a tablet then moved onto taking a whole tablet. I am experiencing heart palpitations and shortness of breath. Thickening of my tongue at times too. Pain in my back and chest. Tingling in my limbs and my ears are ringing. Should i continue with the medication? ## Hello, Amz! How are you feeling? Has there been any change in your symptoms? Most of what you've mentioned are listed as being possible side effects of this medication, as reported by the FDA. Except the tongue thickening, that's not normal and may be indicative of a bad reaction to this medication. Have you informed your doctor? You may need to try something else.
