your readings are perfectly normal, the higher pulse rate & heaviness in chest is due to anxiety and not covid pneumonia.

As long as saturation is maintained you need not worry. Anxiety and stress can cause a rise in pulse rate and feeling of heaviness of chest. Get adequate rest, plenty of oral fluids and nutritious diet.
Monitor temp,pulse and saturation thrice a day.
Can start on Tab.Pan D one tab once daily in morning for 7 days.
Hope this helps!
