Exercise Induction and Allergy Relief

Some people after exercising will endure allergic reactions. Exercise is responsible for triggering attacks, such as asthma. In some instances, only when a person workouts or performs some type of exercise they will have an asthmatic attack.

How is it possible for exercise to trigger asthmatic attacks?
Good question, one would think that the only source we have in life that promotes healthy bones and joints would not trigger asthmatic reactions. However, medical experts believe that some people are triggered after working out because the person breathes rapidly. This causes the airway to dry. Once the person cools down, they warm up again, which narrows the airway.

How do people survive with asthma?
According to experts, people with asthma live happier in damp, warm climates. When the air is dry and cool, the climates cause the chest region to tighten. This brings on asthmatic symptoms, such as wheezing. 

Can people with asthma workout?
Depends on the person, some people have what is called “Exercise-Induced” reactions, or what reactions known as anaphylactic.

How can people with this type of allergic condition exercise without worrying about reactions?
It depends again, how severe the condition is. If the person has a meal before working out it could affect the lungs and airway. It is not advised for anyone let alone those with asthma to workout after eating a meal. People are encouraged to wait 30 minutes after eating to exercise. Still, some people can eat 30 minutes and wait and still have asthmatic symptoms occur, since as dizziness. The blood pressure will often drop causing the person to feel weak. In some instances, the person may faint.

Asthma can become a life threatening condition. It is important for those with asthma to seek medical support and continue doctor visits. When anaphylactic reactions occur it can lead to death.

How can asthmatic patients stay fit?
Doctors do not discourage exercise. Rather the doctor prefers the patient continue to work out, yet the doctor will prescribe medications that the patient is required to take several minutes before exercising.

What medications are prescribed, to prevent recurrent asthmatic reactions during exercise?
Doctors may prescribe “Beta-Adrenergic” medications, which is an inhaler. Studies unearth that if asthmatic patients are fit it causes them to live a healthier life since the reactions do not occur as often.

How should a person exercise to prevent asthma attacks or anaphylactic reactions? 
If the patient is giving, medications to take before workout they person should start with warm up routines. Stretch exercises are great for opening the airways. The patient may find benefits from practicing yoga to learn natural breathing habits before moving to vigorous exercising. Yoga helps you to learn how to breathe naturally by using the mind and body to control breathing.

Once you the patient learns yoga, he or she may benefit from stretch workouts, warm-ups and gradually working into a routine. Take it easy at first and grow into the routines. This is normal procedures and is recommended for anyone starting exercise.

Once the person works into a routine, he or she should perform cool-downs after exercise to minimize or prevent asthmatic attacks.

Patients with asthma are discouraged from working out with routines that triggered the reactions in the first place. Before you start exercise, it is wise to consult with your family doctor first. Let your doctor know what happens when you perform a particular exercise and perhaps he or she may recommend a type of routine that works best for you.

What about food?
Food should not be eaten before exercising. It is wise to keep records of your condition, what you eat, what exercise you do and monitor your condition as you continue to work to good health in allergy relief.
