Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
Since the indigestion has begun after crestor dose increase, I would suggest to stop for one week crestor. If the symptoms will disappear than you should restart with crestor with previous dose.
Only if the symptoms will persist you should quit to atorvastatin 20mg.
Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
