Brief Answer:
Side effects

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ms, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but it seems that you are suffering of side effects of the medications you are taking. Unfourtanetly Crestor is well known. to cause severe muscle and joint pain that might in some cases reach the extent of rhabdomyolysis which is muscle destruction and damage. I would recommend that you discontinue Crestor and depend on healthy fat free diet to decrease the cholesterol levels ..
Also lisinopril causes the side effect of dry cough in 9% of patients using it , while verapamil an cause the side effect of dysnea (difficulty breathing ) in less than 1% of patients using it.. I hope I answered your question.
