If you're getting tachycardia to the point where you get symptoms (difficulty breathing, chest pain, dizziness, vision disturbances, pallor or anything like it), check it out some more. Plenty of benign reasons for tachycardia but then again, some aren't.
I'm not saying this to freak you out, but wearing a Holter monitor for a bit might be a good idea. It's sort of like a long-term EKG that helps diagnose intermittent issues.
Well the problem is I "know" the reason, it's because of long covid. All the tests I've taken have shown up completely normal (echo,ekg, etc, as it does for other people with long covid). tachycardia showed up on my last heart monitor and they gave me some prednisone which helped until it went away almost entirely, but they don't know what to do if nothing is observably wrong with my heart.
I'll likely mention the Holter monitor to my doctor though and see if it could find something actually diagnosable though, especially since my heartrate feels off when I'm exercising. Honestly just completely forgot to mention this was happening to my doctor ๐ thanks ๐
