I've just gotten over COVID, and I've noticed some changes in my heart rate. When I'm at rest, it's okay around 70-95, but when I climb stairs, it spikes to between 160-165. Even when I'm just walking at a pace of 5 kmh, it's around 130-140. Is this normal post-COVID, or should I be concerned?

I'm a 28-year-old guy and I've been smoking weed daily since I was nine. I don't drink at all, and I consider myself to be quite fit. But for the last 34 days, I've noticed the left side of my chest is a bit swollen and sore, although it's not painful to touch. Should I be worried about this? Could it be something serious?
It's concerning that you are experiencing swelling and soreness in the left side of your chest. This could be due to various reasons, including inflammation, muscle strain, or even a potential underlying health issue. However, given your history of smoking weed since a young age, it's important to consider the impact of smoking on your respiratory and cardiovascular health. I recommend that you stop smoking immediately and seek medical attention for a proper evaluation. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) to help with the pain and swelling. However, it's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional for a thorough assessment and appropriate treatment.

I've been dealing with heart anxiety since 2011 and had a bunch of tests done back in 2015. Everything seemed normal then but recently, I got an echo done in August that showed mild MRTR grade 1 DD. I also did some ECGs and they showed issues likely because of a fast heart rate or tachycardia. The doctor suggested a stress echo and I went through that last week. Could you take a look at the report? I'm a bit worried because my tests were normal in 2015 and now there's something going on. What do you think?
You have a history of heart anxiety since 2011 and have undergone multiple tests, including an echo in August which showed mild mitral regurgitationtricuspid regurgitation grade 1 and grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. After experiencing issues with fast heart rate tachycardia on recent ECGs, your doctor suggested a stress echo which you have completed. It would be helpful to review the report to provide a more accurate recommendation. Please provide the details of the stress echo report for further evaluation.
