The medications you have listed have the ability to cause side effects which include headache, dizziness, and fatigue. There is a high incidence of headaches with Aggrenox, but goes away over time. Also Aggrenox and Avapro both can cause fatigue, and Avapro and Crestor can cause dizziness.
Remember to always consult with your doctor before taking any new medications, even simple over the counter items such as cough syrup or herbal supplements because they could interact with the medications you are currently taking. Finally, your symptoms may simply be due to your blood glucose or blood pressure. The next time these symptoms appear check both your blood pressure and blood sugar levels to see if they are too low.
