I'm trying to understand the seriousness of some heart blockages that were reported. Can you explain what level of concern is typical for this kind of issue? Is there any immediate action I should be thinking about?

Question

Can I still have a heart rate of 125 and it be normal? I just recovered from being ill for two months and I'm feeling really weak. Should I be concerned about this or is it just part of my recovery?

I'm really worried because after recovering from COVID in May, I've been having chest pain that comes and goes. At first, it eased up but then returned. I had a couple of ECGs; one was normal, but three months later, it showed an irregular heartbeat, although all other tests came back normal. My doctor thinks it might be costochondritis since the pain is really sharp and in the upper rib area. Last night things got intenseI woke up suddenly with really strong palpitations. A doctor I know recommended some medications including Thiospas 4 mg, Tramadol, and Dexa 4 mg for 3 days, to be tapered slowly. I've already taken steroids during my COVID treatment for about 9 days, and I'm really anxious about taking them again. Should I go ahead with this treatment? I need advice quickly.

Question

I'm curious if it's normal for my heart to race and beat really hard, almost like it's going to jump out of my chest, whenever I'm anxious or getting up from sleeping. It feels pretty intense and I'm also quite thin. I've done an ECG, an echo, and had blood tests, and everything came back normal. Is this something I should be worried about?
