question about lipitor and chest pain

Hi:

I am a 44 year old man. I recently had medicated stents placed and was
put on plavix, toprol and lipitor (40Mg). Since about 1 week after the
first stent was place (I had two surgeries) I started to has short
bouts of tightness and almost a burning sensation in my chest. I could
breath deep but it felt labored. These came and went. I would also have
anxiety at times.

After the second stent placement I have had bouts of chest pain (upper
chest both sides) which isn't like the chest pain I had before the
stents and I still have times of shortness of breath.

The upper chest pain leaves me sore and can feel like it's burning. I
think its the lipitor. My doc has asked me to stop the lipitor for a
few days.

Has anyone else experieburning tightness and shortness of breath from
lipitor. Is it possible for the stents to clog in 3 - 4 weeks?

Thanks

Stew
