Question

I was ok until right when i ended my running, i had this feeling like i couldn't catch my breath and felt i was going to pass out.

Answer 1

I would pace yourself with your work-out. You should start slowly, perhaps with walking 1-3 miles per day...then start running.
Your heart is a muscle just like the rest of you & needs to train as well. So don't over do it. Look @ a chart for your heart rate & keep it in a good range. I would get a 2nd opinion if, you con't feeling out of breath. There is something going on with you, it's not normal to be out of breath.
I gather this is a new symptom for you?

70 years75–128 beats per minute150 beats per minute

Your maximum heart rate is about 220 minus your age. The figures above are averages, so use them as general guidelines.

Note: A few high blood pressure medications lower the maximum heart rate and thus the target zone rate. If you're taking such medicine, call your physician to find out if you need to use a lower target heart rate.

How should I pace myself?

When starting an exercise program, aim at the lowest part of your target zone (50 percent) during the first few weeks. Gradually build up to the higher part of your target zone (75 percent). After six months or more of regular exercise, you may be able to exercise comfortably at up to 85 percent of your maximum heart rate. However, you don't have to exercise that hard to stay in shape.

Answer 2

You may have put too much stress on your heart by over exercising. Put things in perspective and build up to the endurance you want to obtain, not all at once. You may also be developing exercise induced asthma. You need to see your family doctor to help you determine if this is the case. Good luck.

Answer 3

Might be the overweight part, might be exercised induced asthma/copd

Answer 4
