it is not normal to have chest pain with 5 minuted of exercise. you should have further investigations to rule out coronary artery disease (e.g.. exericse stress test). if you have high blood pressure it should be treated to prevent an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. you should visit your doctor to assess whether it is safe to exercise before trying again on your own
