Hello!

Welcome to Ask a Doctor service!

I reviewed carefully your uploaded reports and would explain that it seems to be a normal sinus rhythm.

Anyway, this could be an episode of benign sinus tachycardia, which is quite normal during physical activity.

So, in my opinion there is no reason to worry about.

If these episodes repeat, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician and performing an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring.

Hope to have been helpful!

Wishing all the best,

Hope you will find this information helpful!
