What Causes Discomfort Below Sternum Area?
I have an uncomfortable feeling below sternum. I was taking thyroid meds & had to switch to generic brand because of insurance. Been on generic a week. Could this have something to do with generic brand. Also had leg cramps last night. I consider myself very healthy to be 72. I exercise an hour 4 days week weigh 116. Blood pressure 107/68, pulse 68.

hi,
this should probably not be related to the switch over to generic medicines, as generic contain the same compound in same dose.
talk to your doctor regarding this and see to what he says, in my opinion, this could be due to other causes and to rule out cardiac cause is a must.
