I've just gotten over COVID, and I've noticed some changes in my heart rate. When I'm at rest, it's okay around 70-95, but when I climb stairs, it spikes to between 160-165. Even when I'm just walking at a pace of 5 kmh, it's around 130-140. Is this normal post-COVID, or should I be concerned?

I'm really worried about the angiography report that showed blockages in all three arteries and their branches, with numbers like 100, 100, and 95. It's causing lung congestion and I'm scared about what this means for health. What options are available for treatment?

It sounds like you're dealing with severe coronary artery blockage in all three major arteries, with the blockage percentages being quite high. Additionally, the congestion is causing fluid buildup in the lungs, which can make breathing difficult. It's essential to follow your doctor's advice for the best treatment approach.
