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.
