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.

Is it possible for a 25-year-old female who just had surgery for a 35mm ASD heart issue to live a normal life afterward, or are there likely to be any complications?
After 35mm ASD heart surgery, it is possible to have a normal life with proper care and follow-up. However, there may be some complications that can arise post-surgery, such as infection, bleeding, arrhythmias, or fluid accumulation around the heart. It is important to follow your doctor's recommendations for medications and follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery progress. As for medications, you may be prescribed antibiotics to prevent infection, blood thinners to prevent clot formation, and pain medication as needed. Additionally, you may need to take medications to manage any underlying heart conditions. It is important to follow a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption to support your recovery and overall heart health.

I'm wondering if it's normal for my heart rate to go up to 150-160 when I'm doing cardio at the gym or climbing stairs, and then drop to around 110 when I go for a walk. I've had several ECGs done and just had an echo two days ago, and everything seems fine. My resting heart rate usually falls between 55 and 100. Should I be concerned about these numbers?
It is normal for your heart rate to increase during physical activities like gym cardio, climbing stairs, and walking. Your heart rate of 150-160 during intense exercise and 110 during walking is within a normal range for physical exertion. Since your ECG and echo results are normal, there is likely no underlying heart condition causing these heart rate variations. It is important to stay hydrated and listen to your body during exercise. If you experience any chest pain, dizziness, or fainting, please stop the activity and seek medical attention.
