It is an excellent : Idea to take co-q10 when on cholesterol meds but at this point you need to discuss with your doc stopping the meds for a while as this may be the cause (cholesterolmeds that is). I recommend discussing with your doc before doing anything. Other causes of camps could be low magnesium or potassium but when they are severe.....I would look at thos choleserol meds..As the cause.
