I started walking a month back. appx 7500 steps daily. i feel chest compression & breathless if i run. m 34 bmi & take rmiprl & hydrchlthizid?

keep at it: I recommend gradual increase in steps. Once your stamina is improved, you might be able to run without the described symptoms. For now 7500 steps is a great start. Make sure your doctor know what you are doing and that you are safe to exercise.
