I'm 20 and recently had two echocardiograms, one showing RVSP at 37 mmHg and the other at 29 mmHg. Both mentioned normal pulmonary artery and veins, and there's MVP with mild eccentric regurgitation. I'm worried about the possibility of pulmonary artery hypertension and whether it could be idiopathic. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I'm trying to figure out the difference between Telma and Covamlo. Is Covamlo just Telma with something else added, or is it a completely different medication? I'm a bit confused about whether they contain the same things. Can you help clarify this for me?

Telma and Covamlo are both medications used to treat hypertension, but they contain different active ingredients. Telma contains the active ingredient Telmisartan, while Covamlo contains a combination of Amlodipine and Telmisartan. So, Covamlo does have Telma salt (Telmisartan) along with Amlodipine. The combination of Amlodipine and Telmisartan in Covamlo helps in better control of blood pressure compared to Telma alone.

So, I've been keeping track of my heart rate and noticed that my resting heart rate is usually between 50 and 55 bpm. I'm a 20-year-old guy, relatively healthy, and Im about 6'2 tall, weighing 74 kg. When I do high-intensity interval training, my heart rate can spike up to 150-160 bpm. Is this normal for someone my age and build, or should I be concerned about these numbers?

A resting heart rate averaging around 50-55 bpm can be normal for a healthy 20-year-old male, especially if you are physically active or an athlete, as regular exercise often leads to a lower resting heart rate due to increased cardiovascular efficiency. Reaching a heart rate of 150-160 bpm during High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is also within normal ranges for vigorous exercise. However, if you experience symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, or fainting, it would be advisable to consult with a healthcare provider to ensure there are no underlying issues. Otherwise, your heart rate appears consistent with a healthy, active lifestyle.

I've been wondering if you could help me figure out what's going on because I've been feeling strange lately. Around 12 April, I tested positive for COVID, but luckily, it was mild, and the only real issue was losing my sense of smell, which came back after about 10 days. But for the past 8-10 days, I've been experiencing this weird sensation all over my bodyalmost like heart palpitations, though I'm not entirely sure if that's what it is. It's like I can feel my heartbeat in my stomach, neck, and just about everywhere in my body, like my whole body is pumping. It tends to disappear when I'm doing something else, but comes roaring back when I'm trying to relax. If I focus on it too much, my heart really starts pounding before eventually calming down. It's really unsettling and sometimes makes me feel anxious and on edge. Do you have any idea what might be causing this or what I should do about it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations and anxiety following your COVID-19 infection. To help with your symptoms, you can try taking Propranolol 20mg twice a day. This medication can help reduce palpitations and anxiety by slowing down your heart rate. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation may also be beneficial in managing your symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
