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'm really concerned because my TMT came back positive and I've been told I've got a heart problem. What should I do now? How serious is this, and what's the next step?

Based on your positive TMT result and heart problem, I would recommend that you start taking Aspirin 75mg once daily to help reduce the risk of blood clots and improve blood flow to the heart. Additionally, you should also consider taking Atorvastatin 20mg daily to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart complications. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

Could a heart hole that my cousin had as a baby still be an issue now that he's 14 years old? Should we be worried about any lingering effects, or is it likely that it closed up on its own over time?

It is possible that your cousin still has a heart hole, also known as a congenital heart defect. To determine if the hole is still present, he would need to undergo medical evaluation, which may include imaging tests such as an echocardiogram. Treatment options for a heart hole may include medications such as aspirin or blood thinners, and in some cases, surgical intervention may be necessary. It is important for your cousin to follow up with a cardiologist for further assessment and management.
