Hi,

Suggestive of side effects of Crestor. There is no documented harmful interactions between these two medications when taken together. However based on the history given you seem to be suffering from the side effects of cholesterol lowering medication Crestor. I would advise you to consult your treating doctor to prescribed an alternate effective but a safer medicine like Colesevalam or Ezetimibe to treat high cholesterol.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
