Hello,
Iwould explain that these heart rate and blood oxygenation or quite normal.
Coming to this point, I would recommend taking tylenol or ibuprofen and an antiacid.
A viral infection may mimic this clinical situation.
If this situation persists, I would recommend consulting with your GP for a physical exam and some tests: a resting ECG, complete blood count, PCR, ESR.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
