Do I have a heart problem?
Ok so I'm 18, weigh 110kg, 16cm tall. I do exercise every morning for about an hour. However I check my heart rate before I go to bed (which is at rest) and it is always around 108 - 120bpm. I don't drink anything caffeinated, always drink water. My blood pressure is normally around 130-85. When I'm exercising i get out of breath really easily, but recently I have been getting strange pains in my chest (like a heavy something). So is that a problem or not, if so what can I do?
thanks, i usually read or listen to the piano for about 20-30 minuets before bed then I check, it has been this way for a while.

I think it would be wise to visit your Doctor and state your symptoms, ie chest pains and shortness of breath. Your Doctor may want to out rule a heart problem that you was born with. Those symptoms however could be the result of a number of things so don't let anxiety kick in over this and make you feel worse.
