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 experiencing palpitations on the right side of my chest, and my 2D echo results came back normal. Can you help me understand what's causing this?
Since your 2D Echo results are normal, the palpitations may not be directly related to a heart condition. I recommend trying to reduce stress and anxiety through relaxation techniques. Additionally, limiting caffeine intake and staying hydrated can also help. If the palpitations persist or worsen, you may consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol at a low dose under the guidance of a healthcare provider.

I'm planning to do a treadmill stress test soon, and I'm a bit nervous about what blood pressure and pulse rate levels are considered too high or too low during the test. Also, what does it mean if the test results come back as TMT positive or negative? I'm trying to understand what I should be looking out for.
During a treadmill test, the allowed blood pressure level is usually below 200110 mmHg. The allowed pulse rate can vary depending on age, but generally should not exceed 85% of the maximum predicted heart rate for the individual's age. A TMT (Treadmill Test) is considered positive if there is significant ST segment depression on the ECG during or after exercise, indicating possible coronary artery disease. It is considered negative if there are no significant ECG changes during the test, suggesting a lower likelihood of coronary artery disease.
