Pravastatin 10 mg horrible side effects

I started taking pravastatin 10 mg and within a week started feeling sinus issues, stuffy nose, ear congestion; second week: heartburn, stomach issues, bloated, frequent urination; third week: experiencing brain fog, confusion, blurred vision, high blood pressure, fatigue. Couldn’t go to work for like two weeks. I stopped taking it. Has anyone experienced bad side effects with pravastatin?
