Suggest Opinion On Side Effects Due To Lipitor 80

I've been taking Crestor 40 mg for about a week and my eyelids swell up in the morning very bad, water retention is very visible and sometimes swelling is not going away for a whole day. I visited my heart doctor immediately 2x but she does not think it's a Crestor, internist(thyroid, kidney, liver ok) eye doctor (no problems with eyes either) and ENT doctor-he thinks it could be allergic reaction . After stopping crestor for about 1 week water retention aroud the eyes and swelling was almost gone. Heart doctor changed crestor to Lipitor 80 and swelling is back. What I should do??
