Lipitor And Diziness

I have been taking BP medicine forever. Recently diagnosed with high cholesterol. Currently taking Lipitor 10 mg at night. I feel really dizzy and have heart palpitations throughout the following day. I have been taking this medication for about 3 weeks now and am afraid to continue. What should I do?

Those can be normal side effects of this medication, as well as most BP medications, according to FDA reports.

Have you checked your BP readings, when your are experiencing these symptoms? What BP medication are you taking?

Are you on any other medications?
