Help!
I have been on Lipitor (20mg) for three months. I have not been well since. I am not sure if it is the Lipitor. I have a variety of symptoms but they are all vague and inconsistent. Right after I began taking the Lipitor in August, I went to Italy in September. I felt a little sore throat and discomfort in my ears and I thought I was getting sick. That feeling stayed with me for the two weeks I was in Italy. Then when I came home I lost my voice and began coughing a little. I have been to four doctors. . a general practictioner (he diagnosed allergies) my family doctor (he diagnosed upper respiratory infection) an ENT specialist (he diagnosed mucous and swollen larynx) and a pulmonary specialist he said you have some junk in your chest and gave me "Advair". The other doctors prescribed a myriad of drugs 3 different antibiotics, cough suppressants Mucinex etc. all to no avail. For 9 weeks, I still get up everyday and just do not feel right. Sometimes I cough a little dry cough. . .sometimes I am hoarse. does anybody know if this could be side effects of Lipitor?
