Help me run! Heart rate shoots up to 160-170 within a few seconds of running and I feel exhausted- panting, hazy vision. But can go on the elliptical for 30 minutes at 150 hr with no exhaustion.

Elliptical is very different. You don’t pick up your feet or propel yourself forward on an elliptical.
I would suggest starting to run outside or on a track rather than on a treadmill so that you’re not locking yourself into a pace (plus, I find it a little easier). Start out at a slow jog, even if it’s just at a walking pace, for a minute or two and walk when you feel overwhelmed. Once you recover, jog again. Work on getting your body used to that type of exercise, then you can focus on speed and distance... you’ll get there :)

Look into couch to 5k program. Used to not be able to run for 1 minute and now I run 5ks. You have to build up your endurance gradually

Great advice overall. I might see a doctor too. The hazy vision part scares me. I run a lot and get up to 180 but don’t feel like I’m about to faint

I’m in the same boat! No idea why that happens. I’m guessing that it’s because I’m just not used to running and that it’ll get better with time. Haven’t run continuously for too long so I’ve not been able to test out that hypothesis

Agree with SA1, my heart rate is usually 175-185 running but it’s all about the breathing. In through the nose out through the mouth! So many techniques online!

Focus on breathing. I’ve been running for years and couldn’t run beyond 2 miles without wanting to die. Once I started concentrating on my breathing I broke the 2 mile threshold.
