From stitches to itchy eyes, a whole range of health concerns can derail your exercise routine. Here’s what to do about them
You've finally decided to lift yourself up off the couch and get moving. and while a daily trip to the gym will probably result in a good workout and maybe even a tight hamstring the next day, there are a few things that you shouldn't be experiencing, like tightness in your chest or an unexplained rash. here's what to watch out for...
YOU FEEL BREATHLESS
You shouldn’t have difficulty breathing when you work out. ‘Exercise can be a common trigger for asthma, though,’ says pulmonologist Dr James Hull. With this, you’ll have a tight band-like feeling across the chest and you may wheeze or cough. If diagnosed, your doctor will prescribe inhalers. If inhalers don’t help, you may have a case of exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction. ‘This occurs when the voice box closes as you exercise,’ says Dr Hull. ‘It’s often mistaken for asthma, but the throat or upper chest feels tight, and may also be accompanied by a high-pitched wheeze.’ If you get breathless after any mild to moderate exertion you should see a doctor, as it could be a sign of an underlying heart issue.
