There are no restrictions based on your therapy, however, it is advisable to move to around some to prevent blood clots if the travel time is extensive.  Thanks for your question.  Take care.

No problem with traveling, but you should go back to your cardiologist for the pain in writst and knees, they can be a side effect to atorvastatin and also the warning of bigger problems, he should test your blood to see your levels of creatin.phosphoquinase to rule out rabdomeliosys.

you are on a lower risk of developing a thrombus (clot) than anyone else who isn't on your medication, especially when flying. If your heart has no known serious issues, and you are not seriously short of breath, then there should be no limits.
