severe allergic reaction when working out?

Question:

Has anyone ever heard of this. The allergy dr. thought I was lying. It has been a a while since it has happened but I still carry an epipen. I have been to the ER a few times with my throat swollen wheels all over my body and my face so swollen I looked like a cabbage patch kid. All just from playing basketball, tennis, or hiking. I also have contact dermatitis when I am not active at all. I really need to know if I am alone here? HELP

Answers:
It is absolutely possible! It is called "exercise-induced anaphylaxis." Sometimes it is associated with food- eating wheat, for example, before working out causes the symptoms, but a lot of the time it is its own entity. Find a board certified Allergist to help you. Good luck.
