I'm having this heaviness in my chest when I breathe in, and it's getting really intense when I lie down. It started right after I had dinner. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing it?

I'm a bit worried because even after testing negative for COVID, my pulse rate is still high, around 103-104. Yesterday, I started feeling some pain in my left arm, so I got an ECG done. It showed something called sinus tachycardia, which I guess isn't normal. My blood pressure is 14090, and I've started taking Ecospirin 75mg. Is this something I should be concerned about?

After recovering from COVID-19, experiencing a continuous elevated pulse rate (sinus tachycardia) and pain in your left arm warrants attention. An abnormal ECG and a BP reading of 14090 mmHg suggest that further evaluation is necessary. Sinus tachycardia can be caused by various factors, including lingering effects of the virus, dehydration, stress, or other underlying conditions. Ecospirin (aspirin) 75 mg can help reduce the risk of clotting, but it's crucial to follow up with your healthcare provider to identify the cause of your symptoms and ensure appropriate management. Additional tests such as blood work, echocardiogram, or a Holter monitor might be needed. Please consult your healthcare provider promptly for a comprehensive evaluation.

My doctor told me to get some tests done before my gallstone surgery I have an 8.9mm stone with cholesterolosis. I did an ECG, chest X-ray, and FBS. The X-ray is normal, and FBS is fine too, but my CBC shows slightly high eosinophils. The ECG report says sinus tachycardia with old inferior wall what does that mean? I also have anxiety, so I'm a bit worried about the ECG findings. Can you explain?
