Here are seven strange ailments that exercise can cause

Exercise is good for the body and mind. A good workout can leave you feeling energized, energized and ready for the rest of the day.

But for some, the effects of a good workout can be a little more outlandish. From bloody noses to “regasms,” here are some of the strangest things that can happen to your body as a result of exercise:

1. Metallic taste

Some people notice that they experience a metallic taste in their mouth when exercising.

This is due to raises heart rate and blood pressure that appear during exercise. In the long term, this increased pressure can cause the small, delicate blood vessels in the nose to rupture.

This may cause your nose to bleed or go down your throat where you will taste blood. The iron in the blood is the cause of the metallic taste.

Some evidence suggests that this metallic taste may also result from rupture of small blood vessels in the lungs. This phenomenon can most often be observed in elite cyclists AND ultramarathon runnersprobably due to the prolonged exertion that their lungs are under.

2. Bleeding from the anus and nipples

Exercise can also cause bleeding from other unexpected places.

For example, long-distance running can trigger bleeding from the anus. This is caused by changes in the distribution of blood flow throughout the body during exercise.

At rest, the gastrointestinal tract receives approx 25% blood from the heart. However, during exercise it drops by about 80% as more blood reaches the muscles, heart and lungs. This causes a short-term lack of oxygen in the tissues of the digestive tract.

However, when blood flow returns to normal after running, the increased flow can damage the tiny blood vessels in the digestive tract. This causes bleeding from the anus – which can happen in some cases life-threatening.

Nipples are another sore spot that may bleed after running due to friction from clothing. The more you run per week, the more likely you are to experience this. Almost 40% of people who run more than 40 miles a week report having “runner’s nipple.”

Cold weather will make the situation worse as the nipples become erect, causing more irritation and a focused point of contact. Sweat can also make it worse because it reduces the protective barrier on the skin’s surface.

Fortunately, this can be easily prevented. For example, a little Vaseline can help avoid irritation while running.

3. Rashes

When we exercise, we sweat. This is our body natural way cooling down.

However, dead skin cells, dirt and microbes can cause sweat to become trapped in the pores beneath the skin’s surface. This may lead to heat rash – feeling of itching, stinging or stinging of the skin.

The rash usually disappears on its own. This can be prevented by wearing looser clothing during workouts, exercising in a cooler environment, or applying cool compresses to the skin after training.

Hives are another rash that may appear – also triggered by heat or exercise. Hives are usually more painful and itchy than heat rash and often require treatment antihistamines to relieve symptoms. This is caused by the release of histamine (an immune chemical) when the body is exposed to a trigger.

4. Blackened toenails

Although this condition is commonly called “runner’s toenail”it doesn’t just apply to these athletes. Every sport – incl tennis AND dance – in the case of repeated blows and pressure on the toes, this may cause the nails to blacken or even fall off.

Wearing properly fitting shoes that prevent your toes from rubbing and being crushed in the shoe will reduce the risk of this happening.

5. Qatar

Breathing rapidly during training can increase the number of irritants, pollutants and microbes entering the body through the nose.

In response, the body begins to produce more nasal mucus to flush it out and prevent it from drying out. This causes it rhinitis – a sign that the body’s protective mechanisms are starting to work.

Exercise-induced rhinitis is extremely common in… swimmers and those who exercise in cold air – e.g cross-country skiers. This is because these environments put a lot of stress on the mucous membranes.

6. Red eyes

Lifting heavy objects or exerting yourself during training can potentially cause structural damage to your eyes.

When we strain, our blood pressure increases – and this pressure can cause small vessels in the white of the eye to rupture. It’s called subconjunctival hemorrhage,

The result is a small spot of blood on the white of the eye. Fortunately, the condition is not painful and does not usually affect vision. Usually treated in several weeks.

7. Coregasms

For some people, exercise can trigger sexual pleasure – e.g orgasm induced by physical exercise or “corgasm”. Although abdominal and core exercises are common triggers, they are not the only exercises that can trigger them. Some people have reported experiencing them while cycling, lifting weights, running, doing yoga, or even walking.

Women tend to experience more of them than in men, but it is not known how much more common it is because research is limited.

A person’s unique anatomy, as well as their physical condition, physiological AND mental condition, all likely play a role in the onset of spinal gas. Feel-good neurotransmitters released during exercise (e.g endorphins) are also recognized “orgasm accelerators”so they probably play a role too.

Fortunately, most of these exercise-induced ailments are short-lived and can be easily treated at home during the next day’s rest. All other symptoms should be checked by a doctor or nurse.
