I recently recovered from COVID and it's been about 20 days since my first symptoms with all my reports coming back negative. I'm only dealing with some post-COVID weakness now. I've noticed that when I'm resting, my heartbeat is typically between 60 and 80 bpm, and sitting it's around 75 to 90 bpm. But when I climb stairs, it jumps to about 145 to 150, and while walking, it's around 125 to 130. Is this normal after recovering from COVID because of the weakness I have? I had an ECG and a TMT last month as part of a regular check-up before COVID, and the TMT was normal even when my heartbeat reached 196. Everything was fine back then. Should I be concerned now?

Your increased heart rate while climbing stairs (145-150) and walking (125-130) after recovering from COVID-19 can be attributed to post-COVID-19 fatigue, dehydration, and reduced cardiovascular endurance, but given your recent normal ECG and TMT results, it's likely a temporary condition; however, to alleviate concerns, consider consulting your doctor or a cardiologist for a follow-up evaluation, and in the meantime, stay hydrated, gradually increase physical activity, and monitor your heart rate and overall health.

I'm currently taking metoprolol 50mg every day, and I've been on it for the past three years. I have mitral stenosis and am starting to get concerned about any long-term side effects tied to metoprolol. Could you please let me know what I should keep an eye out for?

taking metoprolol 50mg for 3 years with mitral stenosis can have some long-term side effects. Some common side effects of long-term metoprolol use include fatigue, dizziness, slow heart rate, and cold hands or feet. In some cases, it can also lead to worsening of heart failure symptoms. It is important to monitor your blood pressure and heart rate regularly while taking metoprolol. If you experience any new or worsening symptoms, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation
