After conducting a thorough research, I was unable to find specific side effects that differ exclusively between Lipitor (atorvastatin) and hypertension (high blood pressure) as they are two different medical conditions and Lipitor is a medication used to treat certain conditions, one of which is high cholesterol. However, I can provide you with information on the side effects of Lipitor and hypertension separately.

Lipitor (atorvastatin) is a statin medication used to treat high cholesterol and to prevent cardiovascular disease. Common side effects of Lipitor include:

* Muscle pain
* Liver damage
* Kidney damage
* Digestive problems
* Increased risk of diabetes

Hypertension, on the other hand, has its own set of side effects if left untreated, including:

* Severe headaches
* Fatigue or confusion
* Vision problems
* Difficulty breathing
* Irregular heartbeat

It is important to note that Lipitor and hypertension medications are often used together to manage high cholesterol and high blood pressure, and the side effects experienced will depend on the individual and the specific medications being taken.
