Brief Answer:
Stop crestor for a month.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have read your query.

Probably main culprit behind all this is crestor because it has been proved that this medicine in many people may cause unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness, unusual tiredness etc.

So I advise you to stop crestor by discussing it with your local doctor.

Take COQ10 and L-Carnitine by prescription of your doctor as alone COQ10 will not help. It will take about one month more for the medications to show their effects.

I hope it helps.

Thanks.

Dr.Singh.
