I'm a bit confused about my previous diagnosis of mild mitral valve regurgitation. My old doctor assured me everything would be fine, but suggested a check-up around 2017-18 just for peace of mind. Another doctor on Practo agreed there was nothing major to worry about. But, sometimes I still feel something around the valve and it's kind of stuck in the back of my mind. Can you help me find some reputed doctors or clinics in Bangalore to get this checked out? I'd really appreciate any assistance with this.

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've been diagnosed with RHD along with severe MS, severe MR, and moderate eccentric AR, but the ejection is normal. I'm feeling pretty worried and a bit confused about what all this means and how I should proceed. Could you give me some guidance on what steps to take next?
For the management of Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD) with severe Mitral Stenosis (MS), severe Mitral Regurgitation (MR), moderate eccentric Aortic Regurgitation (AR) with normal ejection fraction, the following treatment approach can be considered: 1. For symptomatic relief and to improve heart function, you can consider medications such as: - Diuretics like Furosemide (Lasix) to reduce fluid buildup - Beta-blockers like Metoprolol to control heart rate and blood pressure - ACE Inhibitors like Lisinopril to reduce strain on the heart - Anticoagulants like Warfarin to prevent blood clots 2. In severe cases, surgical interventions may be necessary such as: - Mitral valve repair or replacement for severe MS and MR - Aortic valve repair or replacement for moderate AR 3. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is essential to monitor the condition and adjust treatment as needed. It is important to adhere to the prescribed treatment plan and make lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking to manage RHD with severe MS, severe MR, moderate eccentric AR with normal ejection.

I'm concerned about my blood pressure spiking in the evenings. It goes up to 16090, but stays under 12580 throughout the day until around 5pm. I'm 36, weigh 78kgs, and my height is 5 feet 4.5 inches. Is there something specific causing this? Any advice on what I should do?
To help manage your blood pressure spikes in the evening, you can consider taking a medication like Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg daily in the evening. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and managing stress can also be beneficial in controlling your blood pressure. Remember to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.
