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 allIt's been 4 years since my dad had an angioplasty, and he hasn't had any follow-ups. He just can't seem to quit chewing smokeless tobacco. I'm really worried if this habit could affect his heart again. He's also having some tooth pain lately but insists that there's no connection between tobacco chewing and heart issues or even toothaches. Is there a medical way to help curb his cravings for tobacco?
Your dad's continued smokeless tobacco chewing significantly increases his risk of another heart attack, as it raises blood pressure, heart rate, and cardiovascular stress, while also potentially leading to tooth pain, gum recession, and oral cancer; to help him manage cravings, consider consulting a doctor about prescription medications like nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), bupropion (Zyban), or varenicline (Chantix), or non-pharmacological approaches like counseling or support groups; regarding his tooth pain, insist he visits a dentist to rule out tobacco-related oral health issues.

I've been noticing this feeling of palpitations or a flickering sensation in my chest about two or three times a day, and it lasts between 5 to 10 seconds. I had some tests done, like an ECG, an echo, and a TMT, and they all came back normal. Should I be worried about this, or is this something that can happen even if those tests are alright? Is there anything else I should consider or do?
Experiencing palpitations or flickering in the chest for brief periods, despite normal ECG, echo, and TMT results, is often benign and can be related to factors such as stress, caffeine intake, anxiety, or hormonal fluctuations. While these sensations can be unsettling, they are usually not a cause for concern if cardiac tests are normal. To manage these symptoms, consider reducing caffeine and alcohol intake, practicing stress-relief techniques such as mindfulness or yoga, and ensuring adequate hydration and sleep. If the palpitations persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and to discuss additional monitoring, such as a Holter monitor, to capture intermittent episodes.
