Common Questions and Answers about Exercise urticaria running

Avatar n tn Many a times an allergy starts in reaction to heat or cold. What you have is probably cholinergic urticaria. Exercise, hot baths, tight clothes, spicy food, emotional stress and fever can all cause this. Once this is identified, avoiding the reason can take care of the problem. Sometimes rapid cooling of the body can prevent an attack. Antihistamines also help. However you appear to have many allergies.
Avatar f tn My son experiences big white blotches on his face during heavy exercise such as running in soccer, gym class etc. After discontinuing exercise the blotches gradually disappear. It is quite pronounced. He also tells us he gets dizzy and nauseous.
Avatar n tn The cause of chronic urticaria is often more difficult to identify. Most cases are called chronic idiopathic urticaria, which means they're caused by the body's unexplainable development of antibodies to itself (auto-antibodies). Chronic urticaria is often accompanied by coexistent physical urticaria, triggered by environmental exposure to heat, cold, sunlight, vibration, pressure on the skin or even exercise. So exact cause of hives is difficult to determine.
Avatar n tn Hello, What your son seems to be having is chronic hives or chronic urticaria. Hives (medically known as urticaria) are red, itchy, raised areas of skin that appear in varying shapes and sizes. They have a tendency to change size rapidly and to move around, disappearing in one place and reappearing in other places, often in a matter of hours. Chronic urticaria is defined as urticaria that persists for longer than 6 weeks.
Avatar m tn Hello, The symptoms that you are having can be due to exercise induced urticaria. Most symptoms can be controlled by taking antihistaminics like benadryl or Claritin or zyrtec. Slow down or stop your exercise as soon as symptoms start. You should always exercise with a partner who knows about your condition. In some people, eating certain foods before exercise may make allergic symptoms more likely to occur. Keep track of what you eat before exercising for a few weeks.
Avatar f tn Symptoms follow any stimulus to sweat such as exercise (sometimes called exercise-induced urticaria), heat from the sun (which could also indicate solar urticaria), saunas, hot showers (reaction to water can also indicate water urticaria), spicy foods which may cause an increase in body temperature or even stress due to blushing or anger. Cholinergic urticaria can be very difficult to treat. Most treatment plans for cholinergic urticaria involve being aware of one's triggers.
Avatar n tn Cholinergic urticaria is a subcategory of physical urticaria (aka hives) that is a skin rash brought on by a hypersensitive reaction to body heat.

Avatar n tn I have done no exercise for two years. Yesterday and the day beforei started an intense boot camp-jump rope, running, squats, steps. Needless to say I am sore--especially my thighs. My calves are not particulary sore but I now find my right leg has a string of greenish bruises from the ankle bone, along the inner calf to the back of the knee. Any ideas what this might be from?
Avatar f tn I have been diagnosed with exercise induced urticaria. I am a college student who developed my symptoms only 3 months ago. I get this itchy red rash when i sweat, and I get hives when i sweat in the water. Claritin does not help, and I refused to take Prednisone from my doctor (for many reasons). Ive traveled to a lot of tropical places, so i took a natural anti-parasite medication, but it did not help. Is there a correlation between urticaria and a yeast overload?

Some people only have symptoms during the winter months where their body temperature rises when it is unacclimatized to heat.
Avatar n tn m just looking for advice and to see if anyone else is going through what i am. I was Diagnosed with chronic Cholinergic Urticaria. I cant exercise, i cant even go outside in the winter, i break out in hives every single day and every time i do, my throat gets real scratchy, and really gets be scared. On top of that i'm also highly allergic to dust, molds, pollen, dander, and almost every other airborne allergens. So when i dont get hives from CU, i get them from the airborne allergens.

2082101 tn?1419965061 Sounds like Exercise Urticaria or Cholinergic Urticaria. You can try: 1. Taking an antihistamine prior to exercising, i.e. Claritin 2. Doing a slow warm-up prior to the actual work-out 3. Wearing clothing light-weight to exercise in; clothing that breathes well, i.e.

The affected area will often feel warm and can be extremely itchy or exhibit a burning sensation. Cholinergic urticaria can be very difficult to treat.
Avatar n tn This condition occurs in reaction to the change in temperature experienced during exercise or even by the foods you eat before you exercise. Exercise urticaria and can be treated through watching what you eat before you run or through the use of antihistamines.
Avatar f tn Cholinergic urticaria is a fairly common type of hives and is often combined with other forms of urticaria, especially chronic urticaria. There is some evidence that in at least some individuals the condition is hereditary. Drug treatment is typically in the form of antihistamines such as loratadine (Claritin), hydroxyzine, cetirizine.Applying Calamine lotion on the itchy skin reduces the irritation. ref:http://en.wikipedia.

The affected area will often feel warm and can be extremely itchy or exhibit a burning sensation. Typically the rash occurs on the upper trunk and the arms but can appear on other parts of the body.
Avatar m tn after a rise in body temperature. Usually after i would get nervous, stressed, excited or exercise. Usually i would break a sweat and it would go away. Now as of the last 3 months the itching got much worse because it is now a 24/7 itch. It got this bad after a stressful 2 weeks back in february and now it wont go away. I can no longer sweat normally. I have already been to the doctor several times.
Avatar m tn Is it possible that I could have developed dermatographic urticaria and urtacaria pigmentosa after a cosmetic liposuction procedure? I was a healthy 42 year old woman before i had liposuction to my stamace and back thigh areas. 5 months after that procedure I have suffered with dermagrahic urticaria. Could the surgery have interfered with my connective tissues in some way and caused this disease?

Avatar n tn , so that now she can only take one antibiotic that has not yet caused her to get urticaria. But the doctors are running out of antibiotics to give her for bronchitis etc. etc. Why is this? What can be done to prevent it? This same person has been a few times over the years for allergy skin tests and they tell her that she is only mildly allergic to this or that.
Avatar f tn If your a "runner" then you can continue running. I have 2 friends that ran til 5+ months.
597183 tn?1226814437 However, I have toned down the intensity a bit. I used to love running, but now I tend to stay on the exercise bike so I can keep an eye on my heart rate. The problem is, I miss running and want to get back into it, such as 10ks and maybe marathons, but I've heard a lot of bad stories about people with heart conditions running long distances. Should I steer clear of something like this?

Avatar m tn Do any medical professionals out there in the MedHelp forum have any ideas/suggestions as to what I could look into next? Exercise-induced urticaria/anaplylaxis, allergic reaction, reflux, ENT/head abnormalities, mental triggers have all supposedly been ruled out. Here's the twist: I also have, since 2003, been having full-body allergic reactions (hives, rash, and severe itching. But never throat-closing symptoms) which have been most prevalent at the conclusion of a workout.
Avatar f tn Hi, Cholinergic urticaria is a subcategory of physical urticaria (aka hives) that is a skin rash brought on by a hypersensitive reaction to body heat. Symptoms follow any stimulus to sweat such as exercise (sometimes called exercise-induced urticaria), heat from the sun (which could also indicate solar urticaria),. The visible hives (sometimes called heat bumps) appear as a multitude of small 2-3 mm welts typically surrounded by patches of red skin.
Avatar f tn If you feel comfortable and your body is used to it then keep running, exercise is so good for you n baby during pregnancy and perfectly safe.. Your body will let you know if you're over doing it too, so don't worry about that either.. Best of luck!
