Looking back through my data, this was the night I had the fever, I woke up to my watch saying 100bpm! And never got back to sleep obvs!

Luckily that was the worst and I got better in a couple of days (double jabbed) with just fatigue and anosmia that stuck around for a few weeks.
Anyone else here have COVID and checked their heart data around that time?

Heart rate was ok, o2 levels dropped <90.
have had elevated hr since the first shot, but I have been assured through $46k in testing and an addition $7k out of pocket that it has nothing to do with the shot, just coincidence.

recommend keeping an eye on hr for a while.
 
The Bp cuff apple sells is pretty good. When I was wired up, the Watch ecg was well within +/- 2%.
if your doctor refers you to a cardiologist, ask what the cost for treatment and testing is.
prepare Yourself, they don’t see a patient, they see $$$$$

Thankfully we have the NHS in the UK, these days you have to really pester to get seen if you think there are serious issues, UK gov are slowly trying to push towards the US healthcare model.

I’ve got an EKG, echocardiogram, holter, and stress test all coming up next month because my heart rate has been low. Doesn’t cost me anything out of pocket, I won’t see a bill.

But hey, at least your up front taxes are lower ?

Wishing you all the best with your tests.

Looks like all these test are to rule out any heart issues, yet you have to wait a month, lots can happen before then:oops:

In March this year I tested positive for COVID. I was using my Series 6 to track my heart rate and blood oxygen level. Resting heart rate wound up going up considerably. I found the blood oxygen measuring to be about 15% off. The watch said I was around 95 - 99% all of the time however it was down to 80% when I got into an ambulance for a hospitalization.

My RHR was around 120 when I was discharged in April, and it's slowly worked its way down over the months to around 75 -- which is still too high for me.

Keep an eye on it.

All the tests were 100% unnecessary for me.
Nothing but a money grab and undisclosed costs to patients.
Enjoy your taxes and your waits. Beside the bitterness the treatment plan left me, I didn’t have to wait a month, merely 3 days before the series of tests were completed.
Rather spend a little money to know than wait. Good luck, hope the wait turns out to have been unnecessary and not too late

Sounds familiar. Glad to hear things are back to status quo
