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.

I've been dealing with chest pain for the past six months, and it's been really worrying me. I've already had ECGs done five times, an echocardiogram, blood tests, and even an endoscopy, but they all came back normal. My physical activity seems fine, but the pain is there all day. I'm just trying to figure out what might be going ondo you have any thoughts or advice on what I should do next?

It's good that you have already undergone several tests to investigate the cause of your chest pain. Since your ECG, echocardiogram, blood tests, and endoscopy all came back normal, it's less likely to be related to the heart or gastrointestinal issues. Considering your symptoms have persisted for 6 months, it's important to explore other possible causes such as musculoskeletal issues or anxiety-related chest pain. I recommend trying a medication like Acetaminophen 500mg as needed for pain relief. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques or deep breathing exercises may help if anxiety is a contributing factor to your chest pain. If the pain continues, further evaluation by a specialist may be needed.

I'm experiencing something concerning and hoping for some guidance. Every morning when I wake up, or even when I'm just lying in bed, my whole body starts to vibrate. It's like I can feel my heart beating really fast, almost like a hammer inside me. This is pretty unsettling. Any idea what's happening or what steps I should take?
