Meanwhile, there are people who really want to exercise but can't because they have sports allergies. Wow, what are sports allergies and why can they occur in humans? See the explanation below.
What are sports allergies?
Medical sports allergy is called Exercise-Induced Anaphylaxis abbreviated as EIA. This condition is one type of allergy which is very rare. Anaphylactic allergic reactions are classified as extreme and serious, even life threatening.
In principle, when a person has an allergy, the symptoms will appear at one point in the body. However, in the case of anaphylactic allergies, these allergic symptoms will appear at several locations in the body simultaneously.
The EIA case is not a new case in the world of health and sports, but has been recorded more than 30 years ago. There are several physical activities that have been studied has a relationship with EIA, namely jogging, brisk walking, cycling, skiing, soccer and other aerobic activities.
This allergic attack does not always occur in the same type and intensity of physical activity. There are environmental factors that influence. For example air humidity, seasonal changes, and hormonal changes in the body can determine whether or not the attack will occur.
What are the allergic symptoms that appear?
Based on research in Current Allergy and Asthma Reports, these symptoms can appear based on four distinguished stages as follows.
- Prodromal stage
- Early stage
- The stage is fully developed
- The final stage
At the prodromal stage, the person usually feels tired and begins to feel itching in certain parts of the body. Furthermore, in the early stages, biduran or sometimes swelling under the skin appears due to an allergic reaction.
If at the initial stage the reaction is still developing, enter the next stage, which is a symptom related to the digestive tract such as abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. In addition, there are also respiratory symptoms such as airway obstruction, shortness of breath, and soft breathing like whistling.
In some cases, in the third stage, more severe signs can appear, even until symptoms of heart problems appear to lose consciousness (fainting).
Furthermore, at the final stage there will usually be a headache and a sense of fatigue that cannot be lost for up to 72 hours after the first symptoms appear.
Does this allergy occur while just exercising?
How about sports allergies happened actually not yet known exactly. However,the conditions are different for everyone who experiences it. Not always this allergy arises because of the reaction to exercise alone. According to research, the emergence of EIA requires other factors before exercise.
For example, foods (on certain foods), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) taken 24 hours before exercise, extreme environments, alcohol, and pollen from flowers in large quantities.
Between 30 and 50 percent of these rare allergic cases have factors that depend on food or can be called food dependent exercise induced anaphylaxis (FDEIA). In the case of FDEIA, food consumed is usually eaten at least six hours before exercise such as wheat or wheat products, beans, celery, and seafood.
Then what can be done if you have a sports allergy?
If you suspect you have this type of allergy, see your doctor immediately to make sure you don't have other dangerous conditions.Treatment given in EIA cases usually consists of injecting epinephrine, infusion, oxygen, antihistamines and handling the airway.
It is very important to stop as soon as possible exercise or exercise when symptoms appear.For people who have experienced this, the next training program must be modified by reducing the intensity and duration to prevent symptoms from appearing, even worse.
In addition, people who have a history of EIA that is influenced by food, should avoid eating 4-6 hours before exercise and exercise should be with a companion. You should also always carry a special epinephrine syringe that has been given by a doctor.
