Severe Pain In Joints, Muscles And Back. Taking Diamacron, Diabex, Atenolol, Warfarin. Is It Their Side Effect ?

I am taking Diamacron, Diabex, Atenolol, Warfarin, Coversyl and Zanidip. I have appointment with Dr. tomorrow. I have developed severe pain in joints and muscles, especially sacral and lower back. My last blood test showed cardio markers quite high and need to keep an eye on that. I am wondering if any of my meds., contribute to the condition. Once before I had been taken off cholesteral meds. because of this.
