Hi Abdelnaim,
From my experience when I stopped working out due to injury it got worse and once I started getting back into it and sweating it slowly started getting better. It’s tough in that initial period but once you overcome that you’ll feel much better! Goodluck hope this helps 🙂
Well, the problem is that after finishing my exercises i do not feel any thing. But next day morning i suffer from the wheels covering various parts of my body.

Hello. Many people with cholinergic urticaria can still exercise or engage in bodybuilding. However, whether this is safe or tolerable for you is dependent upon the severity of your hives and your personal medical history. If you have a more severe form of cholinergic urticaria, your hives may be so intense that you will be unable to continue exercising. If you have issues with anaphylactic shock, you could experience a life-threatening reaction. If you have anhidrosis (inability to sweat), you might risk overheating.
It’s best to check with a doctor first, and if you are at risk for anaphylactic reactions (or have other medical issues), you’d probably want to avoid heavy exercise (and carry an Epi-Pen for safety). However, some people actually use exercise as a way to manage their hives. Search this site for “sweat therapy” to learn more about how people do this.

Hi Abdelnaim,
Bodybuilding was, has, and will be my solution to overcome cholinergic urticaria. In other words, doing exercises and forcing myself to sweat was the key to get rid of it. I still suffer from cholinergic urticaria. However, if I at least force myself “by going to gym” to sweat twice a week I would be just fine through out the week. Once I stop working out for sometime I would feel itchy again.
That’s said, you have to consult with your doctor about anything you do regarding that. Because it may not suit you for a reason or another. Keep in mind if your consultant “doctor” says yes, it might be very difficult at the beginning “for the first few minutes” to continue on working out, that’s due to itchiness. Nonetheless, after a while you would start sweating and the feel normal.
