Description
Mohammad Ullah and Sadeka Tamanna published a 2025 case report on stubborn headaches caused, apparently, by a statin. Statins cut heart risk for millions; their known side effects center on muscles and the liver. This patient developed relentless headaches after years on simvastatin. Standard painkillers failed. Other causes were ruled out, and a companion drug was paused without effect. When the statin was stopped, the headaches vanished. The authors warn that a drug-induced headache can hide for years behind a familiar prescription.
