I've been having some concerns after getting the Covishield vaccine a few days ago. I've been experiencing chest pain and a feeling of tightness, along with mild difficulty breathing when I'm lying down. There's also a lot of mucus coming from my mouth. It feels like I might have a cold, considering I've had COVID before. Should I be worried about possible chest congestion or could it be something else?

Today I was feeling really breathless, so I decided to see a cardiologist. They had me do an ECG, and after looking it over, the doctor recommended getting another one in 23 days. Should I be worried about what my ECG showed? I'm also on antidepressants, and I've heard they can sometimes cause long QT syndrome. Could that be what's going on with my QTc interval? I've attached my ECG, and I'm just hoping you can let me know if there's anything abnormal.
The QTc interval on your ECG appears to be prolonged, which can be a concern as it may lead to arrhythmias. Since you are on antidepressant medication, it is important to monitor this closely as some antidepressants can indeed prolong the QT interval. I recommend discussing this with your cardiologist and considering a change in medication if necessary. In the meantime, you may benefit from taking a medication like Escitalopram at a lower dose to reduce the risk of QT prolongation.

I've been feeling light-headed every now and then for the past few months. I'm 38, weigh 95 kg, and am 5'7". I don't smoke or drink, and I've been avoiding sugar and cholesterol. My thyroid level is 5.8. I recently started jogging two months ago, and my ECG says I have sinus bradycardia. Should I be worried about this? Is it related to my new exercise routine or something else?
"Based on your information, sinus bradycardia is a condition where the heart beats slower than normal. In your case, since you are experiencing light-headedness, it may be related to your sinus bradycardia. I recommend you to take Tab. Propranolol 10mg once daily to help regulate your heart rate and alleviate the symptoms. However, it is important to consult with a doctor for proper evaluation and monitoring of your condition."
