Did you monitor blood pressure while on lipitor?



Based on the information provided, there is no direct mention of monitoring blood pressure while taking Lipitor (atorvastatin). Lipitor is a medication used to treat high cholesterol levels [1]. It belongs to a class of drugs known as statins, which work by reducing the amount of cholesterol produced by the body [1].

While monitoring blood pressure is not directly related to Lipitor usage, it is generally recommended for individuals with high cholesterol to also monitor their blood pressure due to the increased risk of cardiovascular disease [2]. Therefore, even though it was not specified, it would be a good practice for individuals taking Lipitor to also monitor their blood pressure regularly, especially if they have other risk factors for heart disease [2].

It is important to note that any changes in medication or symptoms should be discussed with a healthcare provider [1].

Follow-up:   Did you monitor blood pressure during Lipitor use? How often did you check blood pressure on Lipitor? Were any blood pressure changes noticed while taking Lipitor?
