Exercise is the number one "trigger" of an exacerbation.

It sounds like you have perennial allergic rhinitis which is a year round condition. Rhinocort is a good medicine for a variety of reasons; it has a low volume of spray compared to the competition, no alcohol or perfume additives and a nice safety factor.

Hepa filters are good too IMHO.
