Ive been on simvastatin and the doctor there is raising it from 20mg to 40,ive lost weight so im not sure why,ive been getting pain on my left side and wondered if it couldve been heart related,after it got raised to 40 it healed up,was it heart rela?

I don't think simvastatin would improve chest pains caused by coronary artery blockages. More description of your chest discomfort is needed in order to advise you of its cause. Your MD can examine&advise you and,if deemed advisable, schedule you for appropriate cardiac testing.
