Blood Pressure,muscle Pain,memory Loss.Advised Lipitor.Is It Safe?

Hi,

I am a 66 year old male and have been on blood pressure medication for many years. For years I have had very bad and worsening memory, muscle pain and weakness and my mind constantly seems foggy. I have been on Lipitor for 20 years and heve just realised my symptoms can be caused by that. As \from today I have stopped taking this drug to see if my situation improves. Am I safe just to stop?
