I take Crestor for cholesterol but I have been taking it for awhile. I also take Protonix and Zantac. Also extra strength Tylenol.

Brief Answer:
Crestor seems a likely cause at this time!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this information.

Crestor, though you have been taking it for sometime already, seems the most likely reason for this. Maybe you failed drinking much during that time and the build up might have contributed to this. I will recommend increased fluids intake and regular mild/moderate physical exercise. Continue with tylenol as well.

Keep me posted and I wish you well.
