I got over covid a couple of weeks ago, but my heart rate has been up since then. I did an ECG and an Echo test. The Echo came back normal, but the ECG mentioned something about Early Repolarization. Is this something I should be worried about? My heart rate was 120 during covid, and its now down to 100. What should I do?

Early Repolarization on an ECG is a common finding and is usually considered a benign condition, especially in young and healthy individuals. Since your Echo report is normal and your heart rate has decreased from 120 to 100, it is a positive sign. However, it is important to continue monitoring your symptoms and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation if needed. In the meantime, you can focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise routine to support your heart health.
