Dear Sir,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
Well looking into your problem I will like to tell you that you are taking rosuvastatin in minimal dose for your dyslipidemia . Since you give a history of fatigue , one of the side effects of taking this drug is development of myopathy which can give rise to fatigue , calf pains and cramps .
I would advise to report this to your treating doctor and get a CPK level done to see for the muscle injury . Your treating doctor may reconsider this medicine.
Take care.

Dear Sir,
Thank you for reverting back.
Well you did mention in you first question that you are experiencing fatigue so I replied regarding that . Rest your lipid profile is slightly abnormal but you are on right medicine and its not not much a cause to worry if all other tests are normal.
