High Cholesterol, Low Blood Pressure: Worried About Statin Side Effects

Anyone else have high cholesterol but low blood pressure? I got put on a low dose statin yesterday and my BP at the appointment was 104/60, I'm a little worried it could further lower my BP, but my cardiologists office said it shouldn't affect it. Has taking a statin lowered your blood pressure? What side effects did you have when starting a statin? And did the side effects lessen or go away?
