I've been having this back pain that shoots down to my hands and chest. I had a TMT done on 20th February 2022, and it came out negative. But I'm worried because I'm feeling the pain again today, and my doctor advised an ECG. If my TMT was normal, do I really need to get an ECG every single time this pain hits?

If you have already undergone a TMT which was normal, and you are experiencing chest pain again, it is still important to have an ECG done to check for any acute changes in your heart's electrical activity. It is not necessary to have an ECG done every time you have pain, but if the pain is severe or persistent, it is advisable to seek medical attention and follow your doctor's recommendations.

View allI'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 take Tazloc Trio 40 mg in the morning right after breakfast, and I've noticed that about 10-15 minutes later, when I start driving to work, I get this drowsy feeling. It's a bit concerning, especially because I do an intense workout on my bike for an hour before breakfast, and my heart rate is usually around 145-150 bpm. Sometimes I don't sleep well at night because of restless legs, but I still push myself to cycle every morning before taking my medication. My blood pressure used to be pretty high at 160120, and my doctor switched me from CETANIL M 50 to Tazloc Trio. Could this drowsiness be related to the medication or my morning routine? What should I do about it?

I'm really worried about my heart. This morning, I had these palpitations and ended up going to the ER. They ran an ECG and did an echo, which came back normal, but the doctor suggested an ablation. I keep having palpitations even when I'm just climbing the stairs, and now I'm on these Dilzem tablets. Sometimes it feels like my heart actually stops and then starts again. Should I be concerned about this? Is there something serious going on?
It sounds like you are experiencing palpitations and irregular heartbeats. The medication prescribed to you, Dilzem tablet, contains the active ingredient Diltiazem. This medication is a calcium channel blocker that helps to regulate your heart rate and rhythm. The usual dosage for Dilzem in such cases is 120-360 mg per day, divided into 3-4 doses. Feeling like your heart stops and then starts can be concerning, and it is important to follow up with your doctor about this symptom. It could be related to the underlying heart condition that is causing your palpitations. If you continue to experience this sensation, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for further evaluation and management.
