I've been trying to get my hands on the medicine Cetanil T 20 that was prescribed to me, but I've had no luck because of the lockdown. I'm wondering if it's alright to take Telmikind 40, which is Telmisartan 40 mg, and Cilacar 20, which is Cilnidipine 20 mg, instead. Is this a safe alternative? Should I be careful about anything when taking these meds?

I've been feeling this heaviness in my chest for about two weeks. There's no actual pain in my chest, but I do feel some kind of pain at the back. Should I be worried about this?

Ecg and cardiac markers are advised to the patient.

I've been having these heart palpitations lately, like a fluttering feeling in my chest, and my local cardiologist said I should take met XL 25. I've done all the tests like ECG, Echo, and TMT and everything came out normal, but I'm really nervous about starting this medication. Can you tell me if it's okay to take and what side effects I should watch out for? I'm just really not sure about it.
