Does Lipitor Cause Heartburn?

I had started Lipitor and then started having bad heart burn. I stopped the Lipitor 2 nights ago and the symptoms have not gone away. I rarely have heartburn. It is a burning in my throat going down into my chest and there is pain when I swallow. That same swallow pain goes to my back.
