Are Memory Loss And Constant Tiredness Due To Lipitor?

I am currently being treated for CHF, along with Afib and asthma. I have recently been put on Cardizem, Dygoxin, Eliquis, Lasix and Lipitor. I do not have a cholesterol problem so I don t quite understand why the Lipitor was prescribed. I find that my memory seems to be affected (I struggle to find the words I need) and I m constantly tired. I did not have these problems prior to be hospitalized with these symptoms 3 months ago. Also feeling very stiff. According to what I m reading, these could be side effects from the Lipitor. What advice do you have?
