I am 23 years old and 32 weeks pregnant. My pulse oximeter app showed a heart rate of 310, which is significantly higher than my actual heart rate of 90 measured by a real pulse oximeter. I have bad medical anxiety and am worried about the accuracy of the app and the possibility of having a heart condition. How can I be sure that the app is incorrect and that I do not have a dangerous heart condition?

I think I need to go to the ER for a UTI. I haven’t been diagnosed but I’ve had symptoms on and off for a few days. I'm 20 years old, recently off birth control and antidepressants, and have had UTIs before. My symptoms include really painful urination, needing to pee every 5 seconds but can't, fatigue, hot and cold flushes when standing too often, a really painful vagina, cloudy urine, and back cramps during my period. Should I go to the ER?
