One of the trainers I worked with said it wasn't at all uncommon; the
last trainer I worked with told me that eating a little bit before
exercise will help with that.

Full stomach = bad, but eating a little bit = good. I tried it myself
when CJ suggested it, and he was right - that made it much better.

You haven't exercised hard enough. Really push yourself and you'll puke.

I think it is more like that you need to move more mass, both muscle and
blood. And the time for the contraction wave to move along the entire
heart increases too, because the velocity does not change that much.
Imagine what would happen if a big whale heart (one a meter in length or
more) beat once a second. If it could do that its vessels would probably
tear apart or it would not contract simultaneously, one part contracting
while another already starts to relax again. That would not pump much.
Yet a mouse is perfectly capable of 10 times per second.

LOL. I guess that is for comical reasons and you do know why.

I've read that the natural lifespans of mammals is surprisingly close to the
same number of heartbeats for all of them.

Yes (most, some exceptions) and a surface ECG is almost the same size in
every mammal (around 1mV) and breathing scales with size at about 5-10
beats per breath in rest...

I've read recently that is not true. Humans are the exception.

What is the natural lifespan of human ?

Now for the exercise programme, I am told that you should aim for 120 to
140 BPM or so, and either step of step down the intensity level to keep
it in that range. Over time the intensity level required to keep the
pulse at this level will go up, meaning that you're getting healthier.

I read that about 120 years is close to the maximum lifespan for humans.
just under four and a half billion (1e9) heartbeats @ 70 bpm.
If we lived for 1 billion heartbeats like other animals then 27 years is
our lot.
