Happened to me when I played basketball one time. Ended up overdoing it n had to go to the hospital for full blown anaphylaxis. If he ever starts getting short of breath or it gets hard to breathe when he has this reaction….hit the ER

cholinergic urticaria?

Bring this up with his doc. Maybe even see an allergist. This can be a precursor to anaphylaxis, may want to have an Epi pen on hand.

I have the same reaction and need to take antihistamines. Then all is fine

I have a friend who has this reaction to the cold. Needless to say she is not a fan of winter.

I too am allergic to exercise. But my symptoms are more like, extreme shortness of breathe, leaky glands, and severe craving for doughnuts.

I once knew someone this used happened to, but they were allergic to their own sweat. Also got itchy when in warm weather and struggled regaining breath from an intense exercise session.

Def get an allergy test. You might be allergic to your own sweat! It happens.

I have the same issue, especially when it’s really cold outside and I wear too many layers of clothes. It’s really itchy and annoying.

So your husband is literally allergic to working out? Maybe he should stick with Thai chi
Scarbzz on
Does he take beta alanine? It could be from that.

Could be mastocytosis

I had this problem. Turned out it was I moved from a moist climate to a dryer climate. Just moisturize my body every day fixed it. Mainly when it was cold outside. The doctor figured it out when his excessively hot nurse came into the office and I broke out.

That’s gross yet cool at the same time.

Are you working out with latex bands?

Omg I had this for about a year when I was 18, EVERY time I got hot, I’d look like a fucking walking bubble wrap, it just went away…

Dude is allergic to exercising

Scary but Interesting! What’s the opposite of this when you have this reaction to ice and snow on the skin?
Tarnishedxglitter on
Looks like he might be allergic to something he’s maybe touching at the gym?

When younger, did he take Roacutan/accutane/acnova/isotrat or similar to treat acne?

Even your own sweat can cause irritation like that
Josysclei on
First time I see someone else who has it. Dunno if he has gone to the doctors yet, but it’s an autoimmune allergy
After years taking daily antihistamines that helped a lot, it eventually “gone away” on it’s own
flowbones on
I had this exact same symptom happen to me when I first started working out heavy. After consistently exercising past it, it eventually went away.
brigyda on
I’ve never seen someone with the exact opposite problem, I have cold urticaria lol.
malachitecrying on
I get that because I have cold Urticaria so i sweat and then the sweat gets cold and I break out. I cant even carry a jug of milk at the store 🤦♀️🤷♀️
Bakfromon on
I remember this happened to me after a 7-mile run in 80-degree heat. It felt like my skin was on fire, and I passed out immediately after the run was over. I had to be rushed to the ER and was prescribed antihistamines.
LoliNep on
heat rash? i get heat rashes in the winter cause i have so many layers on
ExvyOnTheCoast on
At least he has an allergic reaction to working out as an excuse. I’m just lazy
KayaLyka on
I get this if I ever brush against or touch freshly growing weed plants
SingForMaya on
I am also allergic to my own sweat.
I saw the allergy specialist and he looked at my chart and said “you’re interesting” which means I’m fucked basically lol (I also have a bunch of autoimmune diseases which is stupid. Yes my life is dumb.)

I have this!

Exactly this, my sister has it and me also once

What about after going in the sea and getting really itchy on certain parts of your body? Mainly hands and legs back of the legs?
ActuallyObsolete on
Allergic to exercise. But no, seriously, he should probably see a doctor about that.

It has to be Lupus.
PastyDoughboy on
Oh hey I have that. Definitely go to the doctor, but I take fexofenadine (Allegra) once daily and haven’t had this problem in years now.

I have cold urticaria. It’s the opposite.

First of all, like others have said, get an EpiPen!
But man I’d hate to have this 😭 Hives are genuinely my worst nightmare

I live in Canada and I used to get it when I would get to work and come into the office after being outside in the cold weather. Itches like hell. Had it for 3 winters in a row and then it never happened again

Me too, and that’s why I stay at home drinking beer 👍

Use to happen to me years ago. Took daily antihistamines and worked out more. Eventually went away.

Summer of 2020 I had these.
Allergic to working out. Classic.
Get an allergy test and get checked for MCAS
