I've been having trouble sleeping lately because I'm experiencing shortness of breath and a rapid heartbeat at night. I also feel really weak. What could be causing these symptoms?

I've been managing high blood pressure for a while now and I keep up with my daily exercise routine, which includes walking about 4.5 km and jogging 1.5 km. I'm wondering if it's safe to continue jogging with my high BP. Can jogging be risky for someone in my condition, or is there a safe way to incorporate it into my fitness routine?

It is generally safe to jog with high blood pressure, but it is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult with your doctor before starting any new exercise routine. It is recommended to start with low to moderate intensity exercises and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated and listen to your body for any signs of discomfort. If you experience any dizziness, chest pain, or severe shortness of breath, stop exercising immediately and seek medical attention.

I've been experiencing this sudden sharp pain in the center of my chest for a while now, actually since middle school, about 3 to 4 years ago. Initially, it took me by surprise, but I brushed it off. It happens like 2 to 3 times a month, and I've just kind of lived with it. The thing is, it happens randomlywhether I'm just walking or chilling watching TV. What really caught my attention was that a few days ago, the pain lasted much longer than usual. It's typically 15-20 seconds, but this time, it dragged on for a solid 2-3 minutes. That got me a bit worried. I havent told my parents yet because I feel okay now, but could it be something serious that I should be concerned about? Any ideas on what this chest pain might be would really help.

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.
