I've been prescribed Lipicure 10 mg and I'm a bit worried about how long I should be taking it. My LDL cholesterol level is 169 and I'm not sure if that's considered high. Can you give me some guidance on the duration I should continue this medication? I'm feeling a little anxious about managing my cholesterol effectively.

I've been experiencing a sudden heaviness in my chest lately, and it's making me feel like I need to take deeper breaths sometimes. I also have a slight burning sensation in my stomach. I'm trying to figure out what's going on. Could you help me understand what might be causing these symptoms?

I'm 35 and I've been having this pain in the middle of my chest since last evening. It feels like it's right in my chest cage and it gets worse when I move around. I'm not having any trouble breathing, which is a bit of a relief. Before this, I had some lower back pain, but that kind of went away on its own. And just last week, I had a stomach infection and took antibiotics like augmentin and medications like pantoprazole and meftal Combiflam based on the symptoms. Can you help me figure out what's going on and suggest a treatment? I'm a bit concerned about this chest pain.
