Suggest Treatment For Headache And Stomach Upset

I have stopped my crestor because of a mix up with my doctor and my pharmacy and now I m out of Crestor and they said it will me three more weeks before it is processed and mailed to me. I have been off of itfor a week and 1/2 and have been experiencing vague head achs and upset stomach and they started about a day or two after I stopped the Crestor. I wondered if that could be the cause of my symptoms.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Crestor is having rosuvastatin. It is lipid lowering drug.
Sudden stoppage of this drug can not cause stomach upset or headache.
So no need to worry for these symptoms.
These symptoms are mostly due to stress and anxiety caused by not taking regular medicine.
Unavailability of Crestor makes you stressed and anxious and this can cause headache and stomach upset.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm. Take paracetamol for headache. Take pantoprazole tablet on empty stomach for stomach problem.
You should start Crestor once it is available.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
