I have had pain in my left chest area that started shortly after I started taking Lipitor. I went to the doctor 2 months after I started taking Lipitor for blood work. While at the doctor I mentioned pain that to me felt muscular. He right away did an EKG that showed I had possible blockage. I then went for a stress test and heart scan. The response I got about the test was that everything was completely normal. The EKG reading was probably just normal for me or due to stress. Anyway now two months later I am reading about the side effects of Lipitor and still have this pain in my left chest area that is sore to the touch now. I am stopping taking this medicine now. My cholesteral was low now anyway. I am angry that my doctor just ingnored the symptoms I was giving him. I will update in a couple of weeks about the pain. I am controlling the cholestral by diet and lots of exercise now anyway.
