I'm 30 and just started working out, but I've noticed during cardio my heart rate goes above 180. Is this normal?

During intense exercise, it is not uncommon for heart rates to exceed 180 beats per minute, especially in younger individuals. However, it is important to monitor your heart rate and listen to your body. If you experience dizziness, chest pain, or difficulty breathing, you should stop exercising and seek medical attention. To help regulate your heart rate during exercise, you can consider taking a beta-blocker such as Metoprolol at a dose of 25-50mg before exercising, after consulting with your doctor.

I'm kind of worried because I'm experiencing this heaviness in my chest and sometimes have trouble breathing. Plus, there's this pain that hits suddenly, not all the time, but it can come out of nowhere. Should I be concerned?

The intermittent heaviness in your chest, breathing difficulties, and sudden pains may indicate underlying conditions such as angina, acid reflux, asthma, or anxiety attacks; to determine the cause, consult a cardiologist or a primary care physician for a thorough evaluation, including a physical examination, electrocardiogram (ECG), and possibly imaging tests like an echocardiogram or a chest X-ray.
