If resting hr appears normal, is excessively high exercising heart rate (when compared with previous stats) a possible sign of myocarditis in an otherwise fit individual who had covid within the past year? or would resting hr be high, too?

: The heart rate, whether during exercise or at rest, is not a reliable way to indicate whether someone has myocarditis. What you are describing does not sound worrisome to me, but if you are concerned about a potential change from your previous status, you should see your doctor for an evaluation. Good luck.
