I'm a 28-year-old female and I've been experiencing this pain between my breastbone. It happened again today while I was sleeping, and it lasted for about 3 to 4 hours. I remember feeling the same thing around 4 months ago, but it also only happens during sleep. I have no medical history to speak of. Could you help me understand what might be going on?

I'm a bit concerned because after I did some moderate exercise, like walking uphill and climbing steps, my heart rate hit about 151 BPM. Now, it's been two hours, and its still around 113 BPM. I used my pocket ECG device, Sanketlife 2.0, to check, and it says I have Sinus Tachycardia. Should I be worried about this? How long will it typically take for my heart rhythm to return to a normal sinus rhythm?

Sinus tachycardia after exercise is common, but it usually returns to a normal resting rate (typically 60-100 BPM) within a few minutes to an hour after stopping the activity. If your HR remains elevated for an extended period or if you experience other symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, or palpitations, it is important to seek medical evaluation promptly.
