Okay so I've been... stationary for years.. every once and awhile I'll go for a long walk or something and went airsofting twice 6 months ago, but all in all, a walk up a street makes me have to catch my breath.
I went to a gym today and was frightened to see my heartrate was like 175-180 at climax... This frightens me quite a bit for obvious reasons. I also have crazy anxiety disorders, am withdrawling from an antidepressent and am on ativan to deal with the withdrawals.
Is this normal? My logic is, since I've been stationary for so long, getting on a treadmill for 25 minutes and a constant fast pace... It's not too bad? I'm also young like 20..
Should I worrY? should I go to the doctor? Is this natural and will it come down after a few workouts? Let me know what you think.

175-180 is not that high, you shouldn't really worry.

160 is average from what i heard acouple of days ago.

Resting BPM normal is anywhere from 50 (low) to 90 (high)
You need to talk to a personal trainer to find the appropriate heart rate that you should achieve in order to achieve your "high intensity" workout.
GOOD FOR YOU AND KEEP GOING TO THE GYM!!!!!!!

I fail to believe you can't Google this.

Google would require action.
He's that stationary, remember?

haha
you have anxiety disorder, pretty bad shit
there is nothing you could do about it, make sure you have no serious health conditions and go ahead and train, but i guarantee you that you will feel fucked up no matter what. Atleast knowing that you not going to die will help
heart rate goes up above 200-220 with very intense workouts
160-180 is nothing, dont sweat it
BUT ANXIETY DISORDER SUCKS
u gotta get off the medications but it wont be easy

I find that heart rate to be normal when I go running at the gym. Don't be worried about it...

im glad you got the urge to go and work out
just dont lose this determination and keep working out, even if you are out of shape right now, consistent exercise will change this as long as you stick with it!

175-180 isn't anything to worry about.
I used to worry like crazy about everything, then I realized it was just making me feel worse in general, hence making me more worrisome. When I started to realize that most of the stuff I do really doesn't matter in the big picture.
Anyway dw

HRmax = 220 − age
this is just an estimate (although the most popular one) and can be off by as much as 20+ beats
that said, 170-180 heartrate, especially for a 20 y/o is nothing to be worried about
edit: that 3rd google link with charts is pretty strange. my RHR has been in the 49-51 range for a while now but i'm hardly an athlete. mid 40s is where I'd draw the line between good shape and athlete
oh and the heart rate you will get during exercise won't necessarily go down as you improve. the speed at which you run (for example) will increase for a given heart rate (and in fact, certain programs like HADD are based on this) but your max HR is really dependant on your age/genetics more than anything else. actually research shows that MHR decreases a few beats in trained endurance athletes (somewhere in the realm of 3-5 beats, so nothing major)
