It does sound like you're close to shaking the bug, and congrats on that! I think I'm a couple days ahead of you; I didn't monitor RHR while I had active symptoms, but anecdotally, I did start feeling a little less rough a couple days before the fever broke this past Saturday. (I also only had active symptoms for about 12 days all told, so I may have had a less severe case just in general.)
Not that you probably need telling, but don't assume that the end of active symptoms means straight back to status quo ante. There's a lot we don't know about COVID-19, but it is a pneumonia, and the association between pneumonia and myocarditis in general is well known. Safer to assume you have it than don't, and give yourself at least a couple of weeks to convalesce, making sure to avoid straining your heart.
- jacquesm 7y agoNo, for sure, I will take it easy for at least two weeks past last symptoms but thank you for the reminder. Can't wait for this to be over. I normally don't care about my heart rate at all, know my resting heart rate is 58 or thereabouts which is quite low but never was a problem. Then, few days after symptoms started I woke up with my heart going really fast and that's when I started to take notice.
