Ive noticed that my heart rate is really highlike around 96 to 108 when Im just sitting, and it shoots up to 110 to 120 once I start walking. I did have COVID about 10 months ago and got my ECG and echo tests done three months back, which came out normal. I also checked my cholesterol and thyroid levels, and they were fine. Should I be concerned about my heart rate, or is this something that will go back to normal over time?

Since your ECG and echo were normal 3 months back, it is less likely to be a serious issue. However, it is important to monitor your heart rate regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider. In the meantime, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol at a low dose of 25mg once daily to help control your heart rate. Make sure to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.

Ive been feeling my heartbeat quite strongly when I lie down, especially after eating, like 23 hours later. It happens at night too when Im lying down. I had an ECG and echo, and they were normal, though the ECG did show sinus tachycardia. Also, my thyroid test came back normal. What should I do next?

I'm just trying to understand what the next steps are for my treatment based on my recent test results. I'm a 62-year-old woman and my 2D Echo Report shows Mild LVH and Mild diastolic dysfunction, with an LVEF at rest of 50. Thankfully, there are no regional wall motion abnormalities, and my RV contractile function is adequate. The report also notes no pulmonary hypertension or pericardial effusion, and no intracardiac clot or vegetation. My chest X-ray mentions a mild unfolding of the aorta but no pluroparenchymal abnormality. Should I be worried about any of these findings, and what kind of treatment might be necessary?

I'm experiencing some chest tightness and pain, and I'm not sure if it's due to an allergy or something else. I've also noticed some swelling in my face and a persistent cold feeling. It's as if my chest feels bigger and there's some issue with my stomach too. Could this be related to a chest problem, or could it be something else entirely that's causing these symptoms? What do you think might be going on?
