Is BENIGN TUMOUR EXCISION a side effect of LIPITOR ? ( FactMed.com )

About this FactMed analysis covering adverse side effect reports of LIPITOR patients who developed BENIGN TUMOUR EXCISION.

FactMed provides MD-approved analysis to help both patients, researchers, and physicians accurately assess the risk profile for more than 20,000 different pharmaceutical products. The below report offers compiled information from Food & Drug Administration and FactMed user submissions. Between January 2004 and October 2012, 15 individuals taking LIPITOR reported BENIGN TUMOUR EXCISION to the FDA. A total of 102441 LIPITOR drug adverse event reaction reports were made with the FDA during this time period. Often the FDA only receives reports of the most critical and severe cases; these numbers may therefore underrepresent the complication rate of the medication.

QUESTION WHEEZING	I was on a low dose, 10 mg. of Lipitor and had an episode of cardiac pain that kept me overnight in the cardiac care center in the hospital. When leaving my cardiologist increased my lipitor dose to 40mg. Even though my cholesterol levels were within the normal range. He said that with my family history I needed the higher therapeutic dose. Since I have started taking this dose I have begun wheezing so badly that I need a nebulizer to deliver albuterol to breathe. I have been having to use it 2 to 3 times a night and sometimes I'm still wheezing in the morning. Sleeping is out of the question. The only other medication I take at night and not any other time is prazosin and singular. As well as a multivitamin, Ferris gluconate, and a group of b vitamins. The wheezing is getting worse every night and I'm going to end up at the hospital because it's out of control at this point. Please help. I'm whistling and squeaking and rattleing so louderly when I breath I can't be in the bedroom because I keep my husband awake. The fight to breath every night is exhausting.
