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?

View allI'm curious about how risky it is to take a small amount of MDMA if I have right bundle branch block. I've used MDMA a lot before but just learned about my RBBB. Can you give me some advice on that?
Right Bundle Branch Block (RBBB) typically indicates a delay in the electrical conduction system of the heart but may not cause symptoms or require treatment in many cases. However, using substances like MDMA can pose significant cardiovascular risks, including increased heart rate, blood pressure, and potential arrhythmias, which can be particularly concerning for individuals with underlying heart conditions like RBBB. Combining MDMA with RBBB could exacerbate the risk of serious heart-related complications. It is crucial to discuss this with your healthcare provider to understand the specific risks based on your individual health status.

I've read that a normal resting heart rate is between 60-100, but mine usually stays around 53-55. I'm 45 years old, and I've been on blood pressure medication for 25 years now. At the moment, I'm taking Metoprolol 25 in the morning and Telday 40 at night. My ECG results were normal, but my echocardiogram showed normal results with reduced diastolic compliance. Should I be worried about my heart rate?
Given your age and medical history, it may not be a cause for immediate concern, especially if your ECG was normal and your echo showed normal findings with reduced diastolic compliance. To address your worries about your heart rate, it would be advisable to consult with your doctor to discuss the possibility of adjusting your medication dosage. In the meantime, continue monitoring your heart rate regularly and report any significant changes or symptoms to your healthcare provider. If you continue to experience concerns about your heart rate, your doctor may consider adjusting your metoprolol dosage or exploring other treatment options. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for personalized recommendations based on your individual health status. Take care and stay healthy.
