I would get a heart rate monitor so you can monitor your heart rate. That way when you see it getting too high, you can lessen the intensity. If it happens again, I would see a doctor.

Did you eat before you worked out? Is this something new for you?

If you are new to exercise, I would def see a doctor before starting anything. Maybe intensity was too high, slow down, start slow, it is not a race, and working out a higher intensity right off the hop, will only set you up for failure. You could hurt yourself, etc. Starting slow gives you ample room to improve!

thanks for all the comments, went to see my doctor and it turns out i have low blood pressure... She recommended walking, so that is what i will be doing.... :ohwell:

Your low blood pressure and the sensation you experienced during exercise could be a side-effect of long-term low level dehydration. See if drinking your daily 8 cups of water improves both. (If it isn't the cause, it certainly won't hurt!) Good luck!
