Muscle Tightness From Lower Back To Neck. Taking Perindropril For High BP And Crestor For High Cholesteror. Medicinal Side Effects?

muscle tightness from lower back up to my neck - especially in my neck area - have been to chiropractors since Dec12 and tried Osteo but am still experiencing no improvement - I have been doing the stretches recommended. I have been and still taking perindopril erbumine 8mg approx over 2 years for high blood pressure and was taking Crestor 10mg for cholestrol, the chiropractor mentioned that statin in Crestor or similar cholestral affects muscles, so I stopped using

Hi welcome to Health care magic forum. Of course perindopril has the side effect of muscle twitching, for that only you might be getting this back stiffness . I advise you to consult your doctor for considering this problem ask for a change of the drug.
I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. a slight change in the vertibral column can have the effect on the back.
I also advise you some diet recommendations as avoid taking more of potato, other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods as these may tend to increase the pain.
Wishing for a quick and complete relief, and thanks for calling.
