Thank you both for your replies. My resting heart rate ranges between 68 & 78 in the morning b/f I get out of bed. Once I get up and moving (getting dressed; walking to my car) it jumps up to 100-110, which I guess is normal b/c I don’t really feel anything.
During the times I run, I feel ok in the beginning, but of course as I’m running, my heart rate gets higher and higher, and my breathing gets faster/heavier until eventually I’m so tired and I have to stop and walk. It doesn’t take very long for all of this to happen. Otherwise I’m in pretty good shape…but I just struggle so much with running. Could I just be one of the people whose heart rate normally exceeds 200bpm?
Is it safe to push yourself to the point where you feel nauseous and maybe vomit? I’m asking b/c I’ve worked out with someone who told me that I need to push myself, and if I need to vomit, then I should just vomit and I’ll be fine. This person is an excellent runner and I wanted to take their advice but I just didn’t know if pushing past that nauseating feeling was actually safe, or if was a sign to stop.
My EKG was actually done while I was stationary. Atrial fibrillation sounds very scary and something I’ve never known about until now. I really really hope I don’t have any type of heart issue. Since my heart rate has only been this high (190’s-200) while running which I guess would be “exercise induced,” maybe I should just stop running all together and just stick with other methods of aerobic activities.
