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.

I'm really worried about my mother-in-law's ECho report because it mentions Grade 1 LV diastolic dysfunction. Is this something we should be concerned about? The ECG looks normal, thankfully. Could you help me understand if everything's alright?

I've been monitoring my blood pressure, and it's currently at 165108. I'm already on amlodipine 5 mg. I'm 57 years old, so I'm wondering what you would recommend for my situation. Should I consider adjusting my medication or adding something new?

At your age of 57 with a blood pressure of 165108, in addition to amlodipine 5mg, I would recommend adding a medication like Losartan 50mg once daily to help further control your blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for any adjustments in your treatment plan.

I'm feeling some chest pain above my breasts on both sides, and it's been happening on and off for the past week. It's not constant, but I've noticed it twice now. Could this be related to gas or could it be something more serious like a heart issue? I'm pretty worried and would appreciate any insight you could give me.
