Question 1

I've been noticing something odd when I sleep. If I rest my head on my hand, when I wake up, that part of my head feels numb, almost like there's been blood circulation loss. It usually happens near my ear or sometimes at the back. Once I wake up and move my hand away, I can feel the blood coming back, and after massaging it for a bit, it feels normal again. Is this something to worry about, or is it common? I'm a bit anxious about it.

Question 2

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 f...

Accepted Answer

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 had a little bike skid yesterday and it really scared me. I felt a bit of anxiety and had a little heart pain, but luckily no injuries. I went to see the doctor and they did an ECG to check for any problems. Is there anything else I should be worri...

It is good that you got your ECG checked by a doctor to rule out any problems. For anxiety and heart pain, you can take a medication like Xanax (Alprazolam) 0.25mg as needed for anxiety relief. For heart pain, you can take Aspirin 81mg once daily to help with any inflammation or discomfort. Remember to follow up with your doctor if you have any persistent symptoms or concerns.

I'm dealing with some pretty persistent pain in my jaw, neck, shoulder, back, and left arm that I've had for the last three months, and the jaw pain just started about a week ago. About 25 days back, I had an ECG, TMT, and troponin blood test, and th...

Based on your symptoms and normal test results, it sounds like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain and tension. I recommend trying over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain relief. Additionally, you can apply a topical pain relief gel containing diclofenac to the affected areas. For muscle relaxation, you can try a muscle relaxant medication such as cyclobenzaprine. It is important to maintain good posture, practice relaxation techniques, and consider physical therapy to help alleviate your symptoms. If the pain persists, further evaluation by a specialist such as a physiotherapist or orthopedic doctor may be necessary.

Question 6

I'm a bit confused about the difference between normal chest pain and angina pain. Is angina pain similar to what happens during a heart attack, but it goes away in like 3 or 4 minutes? And should I be worried if I feel pins and needles in my chest t...

Accepted Answer

Chest pain can have various causes, including musculoskeletal issues, gastrointestinal problems, or cardiac conditions like angina. Angina pain is typically described as a pressure, squeezing, or tightness in the chest that may radiate to the arms, neck, jaw, or back. It is often triggered by physical exertion or emotional stress and usually subsides with rest or medication like Nitroglycerin. Angina pain is not usually as severe or prolonged as a heart attack, which typically lasts longer than 3 to 4 minutes and may be associated with other symptoms like shortness of breath, sweating, nausea, or lightheadedness. Pins and needles sensation lasting under 1 minute is usually not a cause for concern and can be due to temporary nerve compression or poor circulation. However, if you experience persistent or recurrent pins and needles, especially associated with other symptoms like weakness, numbness, or difficulty speaking, it is important to seek medical evaluation to rule out more serious conditions like a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or peripheral neuropathy.
