This is a question for @Gaby. Just looking for your opinion as opposed to official medical advice which I understand you can't give as you're not my doctor!
Right, so when I got Covid I got an Oxymeter to measure my oxygen saturation and heart rate too. I'd say it's about 2 - 3 weeks since I 'recovered' from covid but I'm not yet 100% i.e. even though I can smell it is not back to what it used to be and my fitness dropped about 5% - 10%. Those are the visible things, not sure about molecular things as probably can't feel those.
Anyways, my heart rate is now consistently between 80 - 95 BPM and I was thinking it should be somewhere between 60 - 80 BPM. I never measured it before covid so I don't know what it was - it could have been the same or lower .
My oxygen as per the oxymeter is still between 95% - 98% so it's not back to 100%.
What's the prognosis here - should I be worried about my heart rate? Are there things I can do to get it lower? Is it still too soon after covid to be expecting these metrics to be back to normal?
On the oxygen front, is this an indication that their was some residual infection on my lungs that still haven't cleared? Is it cause for concern that it isn't back to 100%?
