I am a 55-year-old male non-smoker who has been weight lifting for 30 years and recently started jogging on a treadmill. When I run at a fast pace for over 10-15 minutes, my heart rate goes above 159 and I experience a 'BOOM' sensation in my chest. This sensation goes away if I slow down or keep my heart rate below 152. I am concerned if this could be due to a lack of oxygen or blockage in my heart. My mother had a triple bypass, and my health is generally good with a recent weight loss of 20 lbs. What could be causing this sensation and what should I do?

I had a urinalysis done where the leukocyte esterase result was flagged as high (25). I have been experiencing low hemoglobin levels, which dropped dramatically from May to November, and have been diagnosed with a small ulcer and a hiatal hernia. I have also been prescribed various medications, including iron supplements and Myrbetriq. What could be causing these issues, and what further tests or treatments should I consider?
