I'm really worried about my dad. For the past couple of months, his CRP and ESR levels have been off, with his recent tests showing CRP at 27 mgL and an ESR of 47. Now hes also been experiencing some heart pain over the last four days. What precautions or steps should we be taking to address these health issues?

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

I've been having this weird chest pain around my sternum and in the center of my back. It's been going on for a few days now and usually hits me with cold sweats and heat waves.
