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 feeling anxious about my ECG results that came in today. It's showing a low PR interval of 119ms, and I'm not sure if that's something to worry about. The report mentioned Sinus Rhythm and short PR interval. My heart rate is at 90 bpm, P duration 88ms, QRS duration 114ms, QTQTc interval 320393ms. Should I be concerned and start taking medications, or is this in the normal range? Could you explain what these numbers mean? I've attached the ECG photos too.

I've been experiencing a rapid heartbeat lately, and I'm not sure if it's a side effect of the medication I'm on or if it's a heart issue. Could you give me some advice on this?

Rapid heart beat can be a concerning symptom. It is important to identify if it is a side effect of the tablets you are taking or a cardiac issue. To determine if it is a side effect of your medication, please provide me with the names of the tablets you are currently taking along with their dosages. If it is related to a cardiac problem, I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.
