cardio-anons:

question: TL;DR: not been active a while, when i push, heart hurts. what do?

i've just started biking again for this season, and the last time i was on a bike was probably october.

the last few times i've been out for a ride, every time i up to a hill or up hill section and start really pushing myself, my heart feels like its about to swell and explode.

its not painful in a sharp way, but it is most definitely a swelling, dull, but very uncomfortable feeling.

is this normal for being not active for a few months and getting back into it--something that will go away once i'm more used to pushing my body--or should i maybe consult a health professional?
