PHYSICAL HEALTH Are you allergic to exercise ?

A SERIOUS CONDITION Exercise-induced anaphylaxis ( EIA ) is a serious but rare allergic reaction that can trigger a variety of symptoms , including rash , nausea and low blood pressure . The severity of these symptoms can vary from person to person .
Typically , a reaction occurs when an individual ’ s immune system becomes overstimulated during or after physical exertion . However , EIA is not fully understood because it ’ s difficult to reproduce the precise conditions for it in a lab .
In some people , EIA is food dependent . This means that the reaction only occurs when the individual combines physical activity with certain foods , such as wheat , shellfish or peanuts . Fortunately , those affected this way can simply avoid eating their trigger foods to prevent a reaction .
Keep in mind , EIA is a severe allergic reaction that can be life-threatening . If you think you may have this condition , you should see your doctor right away .
