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.

View allI had an echocardiography test yesterday, and it didn't hurt at all. But today, I'm feeling a bit of pain on the left side of my chest and my heart feels like it's beating more strongly when I'm lying down. Is this normal after having an echo?
It is not common to experience chest pain and a sensation of strong heartbeats after an echocardiography test. These symptoms could be due to various reasons such as muscle strain or anxiety. However, if you are experiencing these symptoms, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and appropriate management.

I'm feeling really concerned because for the last 23 days I've been having this chest pain on the left side. It spreads to my left hand and even down to my wrist. It feels like my chest is being squeezed, and at times it's like someone's poking me with a pin. The pain sometimes goes to my back too. About six months ago, I had this pain that felt like a mild heart attack. Do you think this could be something serious?
Chest pain, especially when radiating to the arm and back, could be a sign of a heart issue. Given your past experience, I strongly recommend that you seek immediate medical evaluation to rule out any serious heart conditions.

I've been experiencing this really strong heartbeat almost every day, and it's not like palpitations. It happens for no reason, even when I'm just sitting or trying to relax. It's so intense that, for a second, it feels like my heart has stopped. It's really uncomfortable, and I'm not sure what's going on. Could there be a reason for this?
