Hello,
It is normal for your pulse and blood pressure to go up when you exercise and 139 beats per minute is okay at pretty much any age. The general rule of thumb for maximum heart rate during exercise is 220-your age.
The feeling out of breath could be a problem and could indicate a lung or heart condition. If you are fit and feeling out of breath with moderate exercise then see your as soon as possible.
Regards
