Atorvastatin side effects

has anyone had side effects with Atorvastatin?

I started these tablets and I have lost my appetite and lost 1 and half stone .

I am now being investigated for cancer but have stopped the tablets and some of my appetite has come back.

I also was also very itchy and hot all the time.

Which seems have disappeared.

Before I go back to the GP I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

Or is it just a coincidence that all this started when I took the tablets and now feel like things are better when I stopped taking them a week ago?

Thanks in advance x
