My gums tingle and hurt after moderate exercise. is this normal and is there anyway to prevent this. thanks?

Not usually: doesn't sound normal but I can't determine what your level of exercise is. Any exertion that raises your heart rate is possible to be felt in areas that have a lot of vascularity but normally not in the oral cavity. I would suggest you get a good checkup with your dentist and especially check for signs of gum disease, which may include puffy gums, bleeding upon brushing, and sensitive teeth.
