Could Leg Pain, Tightness In Throat And Faster Heart Beat Be The Side Effects Of Taking Crestor?

Hi, I m taking 10 mg Crestor. I have pain in my legs, tightness in my throat and racing heart beat. I skipped the meds for three days and felt much better. Started taking it again and the above symptoms are returning. Can Crestor cause these problems?
