Is it normal for my resting heart rate to jump from mid 60's to 180 with just a few minutes of jogging?
Hello,
Here's some background info first. I'm 6'2" and 307 pounds, definitely an overweight guy. I have high blood pressure thats under control through the use of medication. I recently had it checked at 127/75. Now on to the question, my resting heart rate is anywhere between 60bpm-70bpm. Tonight I went to the gym and while on the treadmil my heart rate was holding steady at 180bpm. Is this normal? I recently got my lipids profile results and my total cholesterol was 156, my HDL was 48 and LDL was 91. Also, an EKG showed everything was normal. Is it normal for my resting heart rate to jump from mid 60's to 180 with just a few minutes of jogging?
I'm 25 and although I'm out of shape now, I used to work out everyday in high school with heavy weights if that helps at all.

Yes- This pulse rate is definitely normal for someone with your height and weight, but it would not be normal for someone who runs marathons. A pulse rate of 180 is a little too much stress on the heart unless you are in your early 20s. You may need to start out walking briskly on the treadmill until you can do 20 minutes of brisk walking without causing your pulse to exceed around 150-160. Then, you can start jogging.
