Does anyone get sneezing spells after doing an indoor track workout? i did some fast work yesterday and when i was done i couldnt stop sneezing. my sneezing was just out of control. maybe it's because it's just so dusty at an indoor track?

Yup, my sinuses get demolished after an indoor track workout. My eyes water and nose runs and sneezes as well as sinus pressure. It lasts for 2-3 days, starting out really intense the first day and then slowly gets better. I think I'm going to try taking some Claritin before workouts/races and see if that works.
Yea for like the first week of indoor workouts. it eventually stopped.
what causes it? strange stuff i think. i dont even feel sick i just have exactly as you described it, constant sneezing and runny nose
I believe it's allergies. I went to an allergist several years ago and had the prick test. I was allergic to literally everything including pollen(basically nature in general). I assume the main cause is the huge amount of dust and dirt in the track facility as well as poor ventilation. My own hypothesis is that when putting in a hard effort, you start breathing very heavily and taking in much more of the dust/pollen etc. than normal to recover during intervals.
Not sneezing, but after indoor events, I get coughing spells, more at some tracks than others. I've learned that I always have to take a bag of Hall's drops to indoor meets.
I think it's the dryness of the air. The worst indoor track I ever ran on in this regard was Wisonsin's. I had lung burn for 4 days after that weekend of big 10 championships. They really ought to run humidifiers in indoor tracks.
I did a one hour workout on an exercise bike in my basement last week. The relative humidity was pretty low and the result was that I was sneezing for four days. I thought I was coming down with something.
This has also happened to me after running indoors. I just chalk it up to allergies.
Indoor track lung!
Yup, was wondering if I was the only one. BU's track has just resurfaced their track, which I think makes it worse. I sneeze, cough and eyes water for two days without being sick.
I always get the worse coughing fits after indoor track races, would have a bronchitis-like cough for a few days. The best way to avoid it is to drink a lot of water and gatorade immediately afterwards, hot tea later and Zicam/Chloroseptic throat spray.
It's 2018 and I'm just now seeing your post. I hope you receive this.
I LOVE to run/dance/walk/jog outside. My sneezing was so bad AFTER about five minutes of STOPPING exercise I would sometimes have to call in to work sick the next day. I tried everything: benadryl, breathing through a warm, wet washcloth, relaxation/breathing techniques, and nothing worked. I saw three different doctors. Nothing worked. Then my husband, who is very smart, suggested I wear one of those masks found in the paint section of a Lowe's or Home Depot. I HATE wearing the mask, BUT IS HAS CHANGED MY LIFE. I have to wear it whether it's summer or winter, spring or fall. It takes the 'cool' factor way down. Ha! But it's a small price to pay to be able to continue exercising with joy and no fear of debilitating sneezing when I return home. I take my mask when I travel. I take it everywhere if I think I might have the chance to exercise. By the way, the sneezing fits happened whether I was inside or outside. A good friend, who is an oncologist, suggested it may be caused by the strong breathing in through the nose. He said it could strip the mucous membranes, making them uber sensitive. Before I found the MASK solution, he suggested rubbing tons of Vaseline up both sides of my nose. He said this may prevent the stripping of the mucous membranes. Anyway, after a couple of years of sheer sneezing misery, the simple mask from a hardware store is what completely works for me, even though I hate wearing it. Hope this helps anyone and everyone with this weird, annoying, and debilitating issue.
