Discuss whether you may have post COVID-19 cardiac involvement. A Holter test and monitoring of pulse oximetry and BP recommended. Watch for shortness of breath, dizziness and fainting.

Not sure what you mean by organic. But all abnormalities are driven by our cell and body chemistry. Most likely is what is called cardiac neurosis. Your body is talking to you. Listen and take good notes and discuss with your Dr.
