Why i am getting itchy hives while exercising? this is just started 2 weeks ago. i got hives mostly on arms and shoulders sometimes on back and legs.

Many answers: The most common type of hives associated with exercise is called cholinergic urticaria which however usually occurs after and not during exercise. Nobody knows for sure why this happens. Since yours occur during exercise, I am not certain that we are talking about the same thing. Try taking an antihistamine 1-2 hrs prior to exercise and see if it helps.
