Brief Answer: Exercise induced allergic reaction. Detailed Answer: Hello Mr. XXXXXXX Thanks for answering the questions. Now it is clear to me that you are suffering from a condition called as exercise induced allergic reaction. I suggest you to kindly consult an immunologist or an internal medicine MD, some blood tests need to be done to confirm the diagnosis, so it is highly recommended to consult an immunologist. The treatment can be started once you consult the doctor. Hope this answers your query, please feel free to write back if you have any doubts. Regards.

Brief Answer: Allergy due to physical activity. Detailed Answer: Hello Mr. XXXXXXX As I said earlier, your problem seems to be due to physical activity, that means you have allergy to exercise, that is why this is happening. Since it is due to exercise/physical activity foods have no correlation, you can eat all foods. I am not aware of any clinic nearby to your place, you can visit any of the big hospitals like Safdarjung, Lady Harding, Gangaram, Fortis, XXXXXXX you should see a MD physician or an Immunologist. Hope this will make things clear. Regards.
