do you mean concomitance
When you judge your act WHILE you're doing it.

They are often used interchangably. If you want to nuance the difference, concurrent has a bit more focus on the temporal aspect of coinciding at the same time, while concomitant has more focus on accompanying with a sense of lesser importance.

For medical conditions that are present today but not the focus of my work, I use "concurrent diseases".
