I've just got the COVAXIN and I'm a 21-year-old male at 80kg and 165cm. Since getting the shot, I've been feeling some discomfort in my chest area. I've been checking my heart rate, and it's averaging around 100 bpm, but I've also seen it spike to 110, 120, and even 130. I'm starting to get a bit worried about what this means. What should I do?

I'm really worried about my dad. He suddenly started having this pain on both sides of his chest and hes having trouble breathing. The pain gets really bad when he walks or even with the slightest movement. We got his ECG, CBC, and Trop T reports done and they all came back normal, but it's been four days and he hasn't felt any better. What could be causing this and what should we do next?

I'm curious about my pulse after exercising. I did a brisk walk for about 3 kilometers, which took me around 30 minutes, and when I checked my pulse rate right after, it was between 130 and 135. Is this considered normal? My resting pulse usually sits between 70 and 80. Should I be concerned?

A pulse rate of 130-135 after brisk walking is within a normal range, especially considering your resting pulse is 70-80. As long as you do not experience any symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath, this pulse rate is considered normal for your level of physical activity.
