Dr's don't warn you of side effects of statins. One thing statins do is deplete your muscles of CoQ10 which is crucial in the mitochondria to make energy. This is especially true of the heart, so while statins are preventatives of heart disease, in the long run they produce cardiomyopathy by the depletion of CoQ10, which is a vit A co enzyme. I suggest anyone taking a statin drug to alsos take the coq10 :Ubiquinole" form as it is the most bioavailable form to take. About 50-100mg should do it, and you might find it will give you extra energy if your body is depleted of coq10.
You can find this out easy enough by googling a statin and read the research material.
