Running/Exercise with Allergies: Anyone else affected?


Recommended Posts

I have Light allergies. They get worse around pets. but

all in all only seem to bug me when I go running.

 

My allergies aren't red eyes, Sneezing uncontrollably or anything,

But more of a Post Nasal Drip, stuffed, Sneezing kinda thing.

I always know when they are acting up, if I notice a dripping in

the back of my throat and stuffiness, it sucks.

 

Anyway, I tried to start running again yesterday after a 3 week break,

just went for a light jog. I've been feeling fine, but now today, i woke

up all stuffed and plugged and itching in the back of my throat and i've

been sneezing all morning....Always happens to me.

 

It seems to always happen, everytime I start running again. How can I exercise with

allergies and am I at risk of making myself Sick? if I run with my nose all stuffy?

How can I exercise if i have mild respiratory problems?

It's called "Excercise Induced Asthma." The rapid breathing you do during excercise increases the amount of allergens you inhale, triggering an allergic reaction. I had the same problem, so I got allergy shots. It worked wonders. If your curious, go get a referral to an allergy specialist from your physician.
