Hello, Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com 85 percent of 220 minus your age ( 85 % of 190 approximately in your case ) is the heart rate that you should target. Now as far as your dull chest pain is concerned please get an ecg and upload it here. Depending on the ecg a further course of action can be decided. Is the pain severe dull pain or just a mild feeling. . Avoid exercise till pain settles and ecg comes out normal. Regards Dr Vivek Mahajan DM Cardiology |

Thank you for your help,
The pain is more of a discomfort, dull if anything. There's no severe pain.
If things return to normal within the next few days, would you suggest it is okay to conintue using the gym?
I will try to get an ECG done soon.
Hello,
Yes, if things return to normal, you can continue your gym, but plase do not over strain yourself till the ECG is confirmed to be normal.
Kindly update me once the ECG is ready.
Regards.
