Based on the information provided, I cannot directly answer how taking Lipitor has impacted a specific individual's blood pressure. However, I can provide some general information about Lipitor and its potential effects on blood pressure.

Lipitor, also known as atorvastatin, is a medication used to treat high cholesterol levels [1]. It belongs to a class of drugs known as statins, which work by reducing the amount of cholesterol your body produces [1]. High cholesterol is a significant risk factor for heart disease and stroke [1].

While Lipitor is primarily used to manage cholesterol levels, it can have an indirect impact on blood pressure. According to DrugPatentWatch.com, some studies suggest that statins like Lipitor may have a modest effect on blood pressure, likely due to their beneficial effects on endothelial function and inflammation [2]. However, it's important to note that Lipitor is not primarily used as a blood pressure-lowering medication [2].

In summary, while Lipitor can have an indirect impact on blood pressure by improving endothelial function and reducing inflammation, it is primarily used to manage high cholesterol levels. If you have specific concerns about how Lipitor is affecting your blood pressure, you should consult with your healthcare provider.
