I'm currently taking Telma 40mg twice a day as my doctor recommended, but I accidentally bought Telma 20 instead. To make up for it, I've been taking two Telma 20 tablets each time. Is this okay, or did I mess up? Should I be concerned about any risks with doubling up like this?

No, as long as the dosage remains the same, it should not cause any significant issues.

Question

I've been having some pain in my left arm and numbness in my chest today, and my ECG results say there's a suspected inferior infarction. I'm really worried about what this means. Is this something that can be reversed or cured? And what kind of treatment would I need for this?

Question

I'm really worried about my wife. She's been feeling some pain on the left side and backside of her heart after getting her first dose of Covaxin in September 2021, and then she noticed some blood clot patches on her body. Her heart rate also suddenly increased to around 130 at one point. We saw a general physician who mentioned something about Gilbert syndrome and suggested beta blockers, specifically Metalour X25, for life. But I'm really concerned about any side effects on her or our child, especially since she's been managing everything on her own for the last two years. Are there any alternatives in Ayurveda that might work instead of lifetime medication? Would love to hear your thoughts on this!

Question

I'm dealing with high blood pressure and tachycardia, and my heart rate is pretty fast. I've been taking Hypen 121.5 mg daily for my BP and Indever 40 mg twice a day. Lately, I've started taking Indever regularly, and I've noticed that whenever I talk loudly or shout, I get chest pain. This has been happening for the last four months, even with the medication. Is this something I should be worried about?
