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 worried about my 19-year-old daughter's ECG results. The report mentions things like 802 Sinus Tachycardia and 611 T Abnormality Flat T. I'm not sure what all this means and if there's anything serious that we should be concerned about. Could you help me understand if these findings indicate any major health issues? I'm feeling quite anxious and would appreciate any insights you could offer.
