  1. Not taking lipitor for 2 days will have little effect on you. However stopping the BP meds may and thats something you should never stop suddenly…Go get yourself a refill of your BP meds ASAP.

  2. Yes it can be normal. It doesn’t happen to everyone but it sounds like your blood pressure is up. If I forget mine it happens to me. I think it has more to do with your blood pressure than your cholesterol.

  3. It’s probably not a good thing. Why did you stop? You should never stop without speaking with your doctor.

    Hope you feel better soon!

  4. depending on your blood pressure medication, there are many antihypertensive medications that when stopped abruptly will actually cause your blood pressure to be significantly lower then it should. This will cause your symptoms of feeling dizzy. Get back on the medication to be safe, if you don’t want to take your medication then talk with your doctor about weening off the medication slowly to prevent your current symptoms
