I'm a 28-year-old male and I've noticed that for the past 6 months, my resting heart rate has consistently been over 100, sometimes getting up to 120. I'm really wondering if this is something normal or if I should be concerned about it. Is this something I need to get checked out?

Question

I've been experiencing some mild chest pain for about a month now. There hasn't been any coughing, fever, or cold symptoms, but the pain is located near my left breast. Occasionally, I also feel pain in my left arm and shoulders. Sometimes I struggle to breathe normally, and it often feels like something's stuck in my throat. What's going on with me?

Question

I'm recovering from Covid and sometimes I feel my heart racing, so my doctor wants me to get some tests done. I've already finished my ECG and Echo, and I'm wearing this Holter monitor today. Do I need to just hang out at home and keep an eye on things, or can I go about my normal day, like going to work, having meetings, and driving around? If keeping up with my usual routine is doable, is it necessary or could I just relax at home if I wanted to? Let me know what you think!

Question

I've been experiencing this weird fluttering sensation in my chest and I can't stop yawning. On top of that, I've got this dull pain in the upper center of my back for the last 45 days. Could this be something serious?
