Not sure if my title in this post is accurate for sure, but for the past month or so I've been getting a persistent throat-tickle and dry cough after aerobic exercise. I run/bike/swim but mostly run and bike, typically from 5-10 hours/week. I googled around a bit and it seems like this is fairly common, but it seems weird to me that it would suddenly onset at age 40 when I've been exercising like this for most of my adult life.
Anyone have any experiences with this? I've gotten this before just this past month but it would only be after really long and/or hard efforts and would quickly subside. It doesn't really bother me much, it's just kind of annoying, and always happens after I work out and never during, at least so far, but does seem to be happening more often (basically after every workout no matter how long or effortful) and lasting for longer afterwards.
My wife thinks it could be just seasonal allergies but it doesn't feel like that. Wondering if I should go see a doc just to be on the safe side. Any suggestions on whose specialty this kind of thing is?
Thanks in advance!
