We've been giving our mom Axcer 90 mg along with other meds like Atocor, Ecospirin, and stuff for her thyroid for about two months now. We're wondering if we could stop the Axcer since we've been on it for a while and honestly, it's just really expensive. We can't keep up with the cost. Is there a cheaper alternative that works just as well? Would love to hear your advice on this.

After dinner, I feel pretty uneasy, and my work hours are 5 pm to 3 am. When I try to sleep at night, I end up feeling stressed and uneasy. The 2D echo test showed my heart's compatibility is 64, and blood circulation is normal. I quit smoking about 8 months ago but still have tobacco twice a day, and I'm trying to quit. I'm also getting into exercise regularly. I'm wondering if this is all in my head because a colleague of ours passed away recently. Is there any chance I'm at risk for a heart attack here, and what precautions should I be taking?
-It sounds like your tests have ruled out major heart issues, and the chest and back pain could be related to stress or the tobacco use you're trying to quit. It's great that you're exercising regularlythis can help reduce stress and improve overall he

I've been having some mild pain in the mid and left upper chest when I breathe heavily, and it changes depending on how I'm sitting. It seems to happen when I switch from inhaling to exhaling. I've had an ECG and Chest X-ray, and both came back normal. Could this be something to worry about?
