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 trying to understand if the Carca 3.125 medication I'm taking after having a stent placed is related to the headaches I've been experiencing. My blood pressure seems to be stable around 10567 after taking the meds, so I'm a bit puzzled. Could the Carca be affecting me this way?

I've been having chest pain when I walk for the last 8 days, but my ECG and 2D echo reports came back normal. I've had asthma since childhood, and I'm 48 years old, weighing 75 kg. When I get the chest pain, there's no breathlessness or anything else, just the pain. It eases up when I rest. My blood pressure is normal, too. What could be causing this?

cardiac markers and ecg are advised..
