Question 1

I'm a bit concerned about my heart health. In March, my cardiologist recommended a 2D echo and TMT test. I've started taking Prolomet R50 and Deplatt A 75 as prescribed. I'm just wondering, does it seem like we're on the right track with the treatment plan?

Accepted Answer

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

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 for me?

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.

Question 3

Is it normal for my resting heart rate to sometimes drop to 55? I've been keeping an eye on it using my Apple Watch, and I've noticed this happens on about six days over the past month. I'm currently taking Ciplar LA 20 since July, and before that, I was on Petril Beta for two months. Also, when I exercise, my heart rate shoots up to between 150 and 180 but returns to normal pretty quickly after I stop. I had a stress echo test done last December and everything was fine, but I'm wondering if I need any further testing. What do you think?

Accepted Answer

Resting heart rate between 54 to 60 beats per minute is considered normal for adults. Since you have a history of taking Ciplar LA 20 and Petril beta, which are beta blockers, it is expected to have a lower resting heart rate. Your heart rate increasing to 150 to 180 beats per minute during exercise is also normal and shows that your heart is responding appropriately to physical activity. As long as your heart rate returns to normal after you stop exercising, and considering your previous normal stress echo test results, there is no immediate need for further testing. Just continue monitoring your heart rate and consult your doctor if you notice any concerning symptoms.
