After exercising, I have been told that my blood flows backward in my heart? It is a reverse blood flow. Is it dangerous? Why is it happening? What should be done about it?

What is reverse blood flow in heart chambers?

I have never heard of it explained that way but a few things come to mind.
1. It might be an outflow tract obstruction. It is essentially a structural abnormality with your heart where it in some respects collapses on itself while it is contracting - effectively creating a barrier in pumping the blood out of the heart. This typically occurs with activity. Often this condition is volume dependent - that is, by staying well hydrated, you often avoid any problem at all.
2. You may have a valvuar disorder such as mitral regurgitation. It means that the valve does not shut tightly and when the heart contracts, rather than being ejected out of the chamber, it flows back into the prior chamber.
3. You may have a "hole" in your heart - aka atrial or ventricle septal defect. This is something you would have been born with rather than have developed over time.
Your description is not one that I have heard before so I am left to speculate what might be happening. If you have some more specific information then I can provide you with more information.
Good luck.

Aortic insufficiency (AI), also known as aortic regurgitation (AR), is the leaking of the aortic valve of the heart that causes blood to flow in the reverse direction during ventricular diastole, from the aorta into the left ventricle. The aortic valve separates the left ventricle of the heart (the heart's largest pumping chamber) from the aorta, the large artery that carries oxygen-rich blood out of the left ventricle to the rest of the body. In aortic valve insufficiency, the aortic valve becomes leaky, causing blood to flow backwards into the left ventricle.

Normal is 120/80 depending on the age.. 110/100 is nothing to be too concerned about. Diastolic (?) is slightly high. If this pressure is consistent it may be worthwhile to have it checked out.
