I recovered from COVID in May (tested negative around 13 May; I was infected around 20 April). After consulting a doctor and taking medicines, I recovered. In June, I had a chest X ray, and everything was normal. The issue is that, every one to two weeks, I sometimes feel body weakness for a day, and at night my heartbeat becomes a bit fast (on oximeter, it ranges between 69 to 93). I also have trouble sleeping. Please suggest what could be causing this and how I can recover faster.

SpO2 of 69 is abnormal, needs immediate review. Could be post COVID dysautonomia or underlying lung/heart issue. Needs PFT, ECG/ECHO. Also review thyroid and anxiety.
