Vytorin (ezetimibe-simvastatin) 10/20 1 days			High total cholesterol levels	Cough Shortness of breath Short stature	I began taking Vytorin because Zetia alone was not helping me. No matter what I do, diet wise and exercise, cholesterol goes higher. About 2 weeks into taking the Vytorin, I developed a nagging cough and at times, the only way I can describe the next feeling, is that feeling you get when you have been in the water too long.. which I guess, could very well be shortness of breath. I walk and continue to ride my bike almost daily. I do not experience these symptoms constantly. Mostly later in the day (after lunch) abut I can still ride my bike and take my walks.	57	Female	2009-09-09 17:58:56.967
