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 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 dealing with heart anxiety since 2011 and had a bunch of tests done back in 2015. Everything seemed normal then but recently, I got an echo done in August that showed mild MRTR grade 1 DD. I also did some ECGs and they showed issues likely because of a fast heart rate or tachycardia. The doctor suggested a stress echo and I went through that last week. Could you take a look at the report? I'm a bit worried because my tests were normal in 2015 and now there's something going on. What do you think?

You have a history of heart anxiety since 2011 and have undergone multiple tests, including an echo in August which showed mild mitral regurgitationtricuspid regurgitation grade 1 and grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. After experiencing issues with fast heart rate tachycardia on recent ECGs, your doctor suggested a stress echo which you have completed. It would be helpful to review the report to provide a more accurate recommendation. Please provide the details of the stress echo report for further evaluation.

I'm really worried about my dad who's 59 and just got told he has a 'Non specific T abnormality' and 'Flat T wave' in his ECG. He's had a 2D echo too, showing a 60 LVEF and no RWMA at rest. Is this something we should be concerned about?
