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 a condition I've heard of, the left bundle branch block, and I'm trying to understand what it means for someone who's 55, female, with high sugar levels and blood pressure. Is it normal that there's no chest pain or dizziness with this, or should we be concerned about that? Just trying to wrap my head around what steps to take next or if it's worse than it seems.

Left bundle branch block in a 55-year-old female with high sugar level and blood pressure, but no chest pain or dizziness can be managed by controlling the underlying conditions. It is important to monitor her heart health regularly. I would recommend starting her on a medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help regulate her heart rate and blood pressure. Additionally, she should be prescribed an ACE inhibitor like Lisinopril (10-20mg) to manage her blood pressure. Regular monitoring and follow-up with a cardiologist is essential in this case.

I've been having this chest pain on my right side and in my back, and it's pretty constant. I've noticed it eases a bit when I use a hot water bottle, but then it returns after about five minutes. I tried taking Mobizox to help with the pain, but it seems to come back even more after like four hours. What could be causing this, and what should I do next?

My normal heart rate, as shown on my oximeter, is always over 100, usually around 102 or 104 beats per minute. Is this something I should be concerned about, or is it considered normal?
