Varies : There are several potential causes, sometimes a good medical checkup can be a good place to start. Some people will have a histamine release during exercise that can potentially cause the findings you describe. On a more serious note, some people can undergo what is known as rhabdomyolysis in which the muscle proteins start to break down during rigorous exercise and can cause swelling as well.
