HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If you have only recently restarted exercise after a long period of time, it would be best for you to consider visiting your doctor for an assessment.
This would be particularly warranted with the symptoms that you are experiencing.
The presence of any risk factors for heart disease such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, overweight/obese would further increase the need for this assessment.
I hope this helps
