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 my incomplete RBBB turning into a complete RBBB in the future. Are there treatments like an angiogram or angioplasty that can help prevent this from happening? Is there any way to make my RBBB go back to normal, like it was before, so there's no block at all?

My dad is 66 and had a CABG around 16 months ago. He's been really diligent with his exercises, simple yoga, and diet as advised by his surgeon. Lately, though, he's been having sudden pains on the left side that extend to his wrist, fingers, chest, upper back, and neck. Using ointment seems to help after a bit, but these pains have become more frequent. The doctor mentioned it might be muscle pain, but since it's been 1.5 years since his surgery, we're getting worried. Can you offer any advice on what might be going on?
It sounds like your dad may be experiencing angina, which is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart muscle doesn't get enough oxygen-rich blood. Given his history of CABG surgery and the symptoms you described, it's important to take this seriously. I recommend discussing with his doctor about the possibility of increasing his anti-anginal medication. He may benefit from medications such as Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets to help relieve the chest pain. It's important to follow the prescribed dosage and instructions for taking this medication. If the pain persists or worsens, seeking medical attention promptly is crucial.
