Different cholesterol medications affect people different ways. I don't know which one you are taking but it sounds as though it might be Lipitor. My wife is not able to take Lipitor because it causes muscle pain. The doctor prescribed a different medication and she is fine with it.

It could just be you are sleeping on a nerve that is in your back, neck or shoulder that connects to your arm and hand and leg. you should have an exray at a chiropractor

You should get your blood sugar tested to rule out diabetes and neuropathy, which causes numbness in extremities.

You may be impeding blood flow by lying on your arm.
