After Intense Exercise,throat Pain Follows Posted: 09-21-07 07:04am
For at least 10 years now,I go to the gym
and practice some boxing.Usually I am one
step before exhaustion after each boxing
session.Problem is,very frequently,at
least 50% of the time,the other morning I
get a throat pain that lasts from a day to
several weeks.Of course I have been at a
doctor and had a laryngoscopy that didn't
show anything.Withdrawing from the
exhausting exercise,seems to solve the
problem:For 2 years I had quit the gym and
almost never had throat pain.While,in the
period of time I attended the gym I had at
least 5 incidents a year that lasted for a
month or more.It is also a non-specific
gym problem,because I have changed 3 gyms
over the years while the problem remains.
While I experience throat pain,the
clinical examination sometimes reveals
nothing and other times it gives signs of
a throat infection.Sometimes the infection
climbs deeper in my bronchial tree.At
these cases I usually get an antibiotic
and this solution works fine,but I can't
of course get antibiotics for life just to
be able to exercise.
I am a med student myself and can't figure
this out.I have consulted with colleagues
but I haven't heard of an explanatory
answer.I am thinking,maybe a weird
microorganism resistant to
antibiotics,positioned in my throat that
wakes up every time my immune system is
down due to exhaustion?other colleagues
have disagreed with that theory.
thanks for any answers!

My immunity goes down, too, after I get
really tired. Why do you work yourself to
the point of exhaustion? Any substitutes
for boxing?

Yes,you're right but I like boxing.I find
other substitutes boring.
