Question

I'm getting really out of breath whenever I climb stairs, even though I recently had a stress echo and other tests that came back normal. Could this be related to my heart, or is it just because I don't climb stairs that often? What else could be causing this?

Question

I'm curious if it's normal for someone who's had a COVID infection before to experience a high heart rate, like around 130-140, for a while. Especially if their SPO2 levels are at 95-96. Should I be worried about this?

Question

My pulse oximeter is showing a pulse rate of 100, could this be related to my blood pressure? I'm feeling a bit tense about it. Can you help me understand what's going on?

Question

I'm a 27-year-old female and my heart rate seems unusually high, usually over 100, sometimes even reaching 130 beats per minute, even when I'm resting. All my tests, like Spo2, ESR, vitamin levels, thyroid, lipid, and many more have come back normal, including the NT-proBNP. But I just can't shake off this feeling of worry about my heart. The doctors didn't seem to focus much on the heartbeats, though, and asked me to get an MRI spine for my pain. I often experience upper back pain, a heavy feeling in my head, shortness of breath, and sometimes pain in my left breast and shoulder blade. It's less when I'm in bed but gets severe when I'm sitting or working. With my heart rate always on the high side at my age, is this something to be concerned about? Also, why did my doctor order an MRI and not more heart-related tests?
