It hasn't gone away, and on top of that, I've been dealing with chest pains for the last couple of days, especially when I lie down to sleep. Do you think I should see a doctor about this? Also, why do things smell so weird to me? Plus, I'm feeling really tense all the time.

Is it normal to feel your heartbeat at night? I've noticed that I'm getting anxious easily too. Could this be a sign of something wrong with my heart? I'm a bit worried.
Feeling your heart beating at night and experiencing anxiety could be related to a heart condition, but it could also be due to other factors such as stress, caffeine intake, or even sleep apnea. To address this issue, you can try taking a beta-blocker like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help reduce your heart rate and anxiety symptoms. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques before bed and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can also help improve your symptoms.

I'm a bit worried about my pulse rate being 130 when I wake up. Is that considered high? I tested positive for COVID-19 on August 5th, 2020, and thankfully, I tested negative by August 29th, 2020. Could this be related to my elevated pulse rate?
A pulse rate of 130 when you wake up is considered high. It is possible that your previous COVID-19 infection could be a contributing factor to this elevated pulse rate. However, it is important to monitor your symptoms and consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) 25mg once daily to help lower your heart rate.
