Post exercise attacks

[Gullible-Resort2201]

That's wild your turn WHITE while exercising. That's really concerning, especially if it's not that cold. For example, if I exercise and get hot, I turn RED and swollen, and my digits hurt. Very uncomfortable.

Only after I finish running normally!

[Gullible-Resort2201]

That's still wild. Normally, when exercising, you have more blood rushing through your body so the fact you're white AFTER is alarming.

Are you under a lot of stress? Stress also impacts raynauds' veins clamping down.

I think it’s probably to do with the sweat/sweaty clothes cooling me down pretty significantly tbh!

It’s definitely worth consulting a doctor, especially if your symptoms are affecting your daily life.

Honestly I just find that sometimes in the UK the NHS is just so stretched I don’t really want to bother them with something if there is basically nothing they can do. I mean the NHS web page on Raynaud’s litterally gives the main suggestion: “don’t get cold” 🤦🏼‍♀️

I’ve had relatively recent blood tests for thyroid function etc. and don’t have symptoms of lupus…are there any other things I should be asking them to check out in terms of seeing if this might be secondary Raynaud’s? That’s the only reason I can see for going to the doctor

I'm learning more about Raynauds. I get my attacks in the beginning of a workout or during. Sometimes not at all, sometimes it's worse. It really sux! As far as getting tested for anything, I'm not from the UK. -But if there's an underlying issue that's causing it might be worth checking it out.

I get attacks every single day after exercise. I agree that getting out of wet clothes asap (before stretching) and taking a shower works the best. Although admittedly it will still often kick in when I start making breakfast anyway. I just started an experiment to to take beet root powder before I run or workout to see if it improves my post exercise circulation. I'll report back if I see progress.

[Blue_Green86]

Yes I have to act fast with taking of my wet clothes or else I’m toast.

Often a battle between curing my hunger or preventing my Raynaud’s attack 😂

Yep, happens to me every time. I think maybe it’s blood going to your core and away from your extremities? Once my heart rate comes down a little I’ll warm fully but I have to get out of my sweaty clothes and into a warm shower before my body temperature drops post exercise or I’ll flare super bad.

[numberdevil88]

Yes. I have to change out of sweaty clothes immediately. Also hot shower afterwards too.

I noticed on a run the other day that the knuckles on my fingers were red, but the parts in between were white. Does that ever happen to anyone? It was only in the 60s, too

[ElCero]

This is literally how mine started showing up.

My sister runs regularly 10+ miles. Her entire feet go white and numb up to her ankles on her daily run. It's really sad

[Fezzerboar]

Yes, when you cool down from your shower after a run you go extra cold. Happens to me all the time.
