Chest Congestion, Cold, Headache, Lack Of Energy, Chest Heaviness. On Lipitor, Avapro. Should I Visit The Doctor?

Is this something I should head to the dr for will it just have to it's course?
Thanks for posting the query.
Your history suggests that you have cold, headache, chest congestion since 1 month.
You are currently on Lipitor and Avapro (I suppose for Hypertension / high cholesterol).
In such a scenario you should not neglect your complaints.
I suggest the following:
1. Visit a Pulmonologist and get yourself clinically evaluated.
2. Most probably he will get your Chest x-ray / electrocardiogram / 2D echocardiography done.
3. There are chances of you suffering from Lower Congestive Cardiac Failure.
4. After the above clinical evaluation and investigations, your condition should be easily manageable with antibiotics/ diuretic class of drugs which may be prescribed by your Physician.
I hope I have answered your query. Please accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
Wishing you a quick recovery.
Take Care.
Regards.
