Hi
dont worry you are 29 and are not going to get a heart attack
feeling a bit heavy in chest (chest pain) after running 2 miles is very normal
try to uincrease your running capacity gradually , if you feel chest pain after running 2 miles in one go,cover the distance in two parts.
unless you are a chain smoker or you have a family history of very early cardiac ailments , chances of it being a pain of cardiac origin are very rare

your blood pressure is quiet high considering your age
you are having presystolic hypertension and your diastolic bp is grade 1 ( mild hypertension)
at your age it should be less then 120/80

before starting you with medicines life style change should be tried for atleast 3 months
dont smoke
45 min of strenous exercise everyday is advised
include fibres in your diet
take a low salt diet
avoid using excess of ghee and butter in food
follow this for 3 months if still not relieved will add tablet nevibolol .

adv
get a ecg done to rule out a cardiac cause
rest follow suggestions for 3 months
