Chances are your heart is not damaged. Recommend 2 things-PL GET VACCINATED and see your MD to check out your heart.

An EKG 12 lead is recommended if you have concerns. Urgent care centers or your physician may suggest additional work up. Variable heart rate can also be normal if within normal range. Watch for shortness of breath and dizziness.
