Is It Because Of Taking CRESTOR Tablet (5.2 Mg) That I Am Not Getting Proper Sleep ?
Hi doctor , I have normal blood pressure (110) but my cholesterol is 7.2 mmol/L which is higher than normal. Now I start taking one CRESTOR tablet (5.2 mg) every day. However, after taking this tablet for 3 days, I can not sleep every night. Before my sleeping patern was very good. I can sleep 8 hours per day before but not now. Please advise what shall I do to help me to fall asleep easily. Thanks...
