Cardiologist,  's  Response
Dear Sir/Madam
Thanks for your query to us.
A withdrawal of crestor is unlikely to be the cause of your symptoms. Moreover this chest discomfort is also not likely to be due to obstructive coronary artery disease in your major cardiac vessels since your stress test is normal. I would like you to see your physician and get yourself examined for possible non-cardiac cause for your symptoms. If his examination suggest any cardiac cause only then you should discuss your cardiologist.
Sincerely
Sukhvinder
