Has anyone else experienced high pulse rates after having Covid?

Hi @gigi2018. I am literally tearing up for you and please excuse if I dont recall reaching out prior due to my covid brain issues. I too am going on 4 yrs of this unbelievable journey and I hope you can find the right physical therapist who can help pacing, rebuilding muscle, with breathing techniques to assist your goals in the realistic and patient healing forward manner to prevent the agonizing setbacks that are still unexplainable to so many. You will accomplish so much with those of us here cheering you on and precious time with your loved ones in any manner possible! healing healing to you🌈

Thank you for your understanding and encouragement. This is such a lonely journey. Yesterday I was cool. Today I am teary-eyed and down. I will do what I can to adjust my attitude. 🙂 Perhaps breakfast and a shower will get me out of this slump.

Since having Covid my heart rate periodically jumps 30 beats when i am doing something that should not cause such an increase, i.e. getting out of the shower and dressing , putting clothes in the washing machine.. It doesn’t hapoen all the time. I am being followed by a cardiologist, have had carotid ultasound- normal, holter monitor which showed a few PVCs , some premature atrial contractions. I also have mild leaky valves. Since my resting heart rate is fairly low and symptoms are not severe, my cardiologist doesn’t have me on medication. I see him every 6 months. I also developed sleep apnea after having Covid. I went from basically having no health problems to now seeing a cardiologist, pulmonologist (for mild obstruction) and a sleep specialist.

Do you have any nausea, chest pressure, weakness with it?

No I did not.

My husband has LC, and experiences extreme increases in heart rate when he stands. He was diagnoses with POTS after a tilt table test. He is on his 2nd medication for POTS, Ivabradine. He is about to go up in dosage. It has helped a little. He sees a cardiologist for this medication.
