High Pulse Rate Covid Patient

Question

Asked for Male, 25 Years

Hi, doc my wife is diagnosed with Covid Positive and its almost week now. All symptoms gone except mild cough is still there. Oxygen levels are above 95% in oximeter but her pulse rate is nearly between 100 to 120. We never observed pulse rate before Covid case so not sure if thats increased after Covid or it was higher only as her age is 25 only.

Might be due to infection or dehydration or anxiety. Hydrate her well. In case of persistent high heart rate get an ECG ECHO done

Hi. Increased pulse rate may be due to anxiety and infection. Nothing to worry. Anyway take an ecg as baseline investigation and check thyroid levels also.
