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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI'm 19 and I've been feeling my heart skip a beat for a few seconds, along with a feeling of heaviness in my chest. My ECG and sinus rhythm came back normal, but I can't help but worry if this is something to be concerned about, especially since I have anxiety issues. What do you think?
These symptoms can be related to your anxiety issues. However, if you are experiencing skipped heartbeats and chest heaviness, it is important to rule out any underlying cardiac issues. Since your ECG and sinus rhythm are normal, you may benefit from medications like Propranolol (Inderal) to help with the physical symptoms of anxiety. The usual dosage for Propranolol is 20-40mg taken orally 2-3 times a day. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques and seeking therapy for your anxiety may also be beneficial.

I'm sitting here with a blood pressure of around 130100. Should I go for a walk, or is it better if I just rest for now since it might go up when I'm active? I'm not sure what's the best thing to do in this situation.
It is generally safe to go for a walk with a blood pressure of 130100. Physical activity can actually help lower blood pressure. However, it is important to start with a gentle walk and monitor how you feel. If you experience any symptoms such as dizziness, chest pain, or shortness of breath, stop and rest. If you are on medication for high blood pressure, make sure to take it as prescribed

I'm really worried about my dad. He's 73 years old and his recent 2D echo report showed an LVEF of 50 percent, no MR, no TR, and a paradoxical IVS. How serious is this situation and is there anything we can do to improve it? Should we be thinking about getting more tests done?
My father 73 years old his 2Decho report says LVEF 50 percent, no MR no TR, paradoxical IVS. How critical it and and how it can be improved. Any further investigation required? LVEF of 50% indicates a slightly reduced heart function, which may increase the risk of heart-related issues. The paradoxical IVS refers to an abnormal movement of the interventricular septum during the cardiac cycle. To improve the condition and prevent further complications, medications such as ACE inhibitors like Enalapril 5mg daily and beta-blockers like Metoprolol 25mg daily can be prescribed. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a heart-healthy diet, and stress management can help. Further investigation may include a stress test or coronary angiography to assess coronary artery disease.
