Do I have a congenital heart defect?I am a woman in my mid-twenties. I've never seemed to have as much stamina as other people in exercise from elementary on up. I was always bringing up the tail end in PE runs.
In high school PE I would jog on our runs until I was out of breath and my chest hurt (a pressure sensation) and then slow to a walk. This would happen even when I was playing on the tennis team and I know I was in shape. I could go at my own pace in tennis and not strain myself.
Lately, I've been going to the gym to try to shed a few. It doesn't take long to get to target heart rate. A brisk walk is all it takes. I don't even feel like I'm working. Then, when I increase my pace, my pulse gets up to 160+, easy. And that's about the time my "exercise induced asthma" kicks in. Then I slow down.
I'm seeing my doc this week and plan to mention this, but I wanted to see what others thought.

There's not much way to know before you go to your doctor, but then, that's why you're going, right?
Good luck!
