Hi
Thanks for writing in.
I do not expect varicose veins to spoil your trip.. They would generally be aggravated on prolonged standing.
Stoking and elevation of legs helps a lot .
Prominent veins can be unsightly ,but if there is no discoloration or skin changes , then we should not be worried.
Calf twitching and occasional pains can occur even in mild form of varicose veins .
The decision to discontinue crestor would be best taken if you would be kind enough to shared your reports with me, especially about long term side effects.
‘Hope I have answered your query, I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
