What Causes Rapid Heart Rate While Jogging?
I regulaly train with weights, and add 20 minutes of cardio a day, usually just jogging at 4mph. Yesterday I tried aprinting at 7mph, at around 1 minute in my heart actually felt like it was going to pop out of my chest with each beat. Was the heartrate too high or is that an Angina attack?

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Yes it can be angina very possibly. At the peak of exercise the demand of your body for blood was very high and cardiac muscle too need more blood supply but as it could not be full filled hence there is ischemia in cardiac muscles causing pain. i would advise you some base line test of cardiology to ruler out ischemia:
- 2d echo
- tread mill test
- lipid profile
If they are normal you are clear from cardio side.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Rini
