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 wondering if taking Electral powder could lead to a rise in blood pressure. Is it safe for someone with high BP or diabetes to have? Could you please clarify this for me?

Electral powder is generally safe for high blood pressure and diabetic patients to take, as it is a balanced oral rehydration solution that helps in restoring electrolyte balance in the body. However, it is always recommended to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication or supplement.

I'm really confused right now. I went to a hospital because I was having some gastric problems, and the doctor there did a troponin test that came back positive at 0.03. Then, when I spoke to my family doctor, he suggested getting a second opinion, which I did at MMM. They said the results were negative. I'm stuck in this weird spot of not knowing what to believe or trust. Could you help me figure out what to do next?

It seems there is a discrepancy in the troponin test results between the two hospitals. Since the second opinion from MMM hospital came out as negative, it would be advisable to follow that result. In the case of gastric issues, you can take medications like Omeprazole (brand name: Prilosec) 20mg twice daily before meals for acid reflux. Additionally, you can take Simethicone (brand name: Gas-X) 125mg as needed for gas and bloating. Make sure to follow up with your family doctor for further guidance and monitoring of your gastric problem.

I'm curious if it's normal for someone who's had a COVID infection before to experience a high heart rate, like around 130-140, for a while. Especially if their SPO2 levels are at 95-96. Should I be worried about this?

yes
