Joe, enjoy reading your recaps and updates of the year. what you’re describing sounds similar to what I encounter several times a year. In my case, I believe it’s more respiratory/sinus and when I don’t take a mild allergy/antihistamine before a ride, the condition seems to happen. Can’t say there’s causation and or correlation to this, yet that seems to alleviate most of the symptoms. It’s a real bummer watching your mates pedal away while you’re standing over your top tube hacking out a lung
Sorry to hear that this issue is so persistent. It doesn't quite sound the same as I had but I thought it perhaps worth mentioning as the conditions to trigger are the and. I had exercise induced asthma that only came along when I was super fit and doing high intensity training. An inhaler helped stabilise my lungs and everything was fine after that. Now I'm not training to that level, I don't need the inhaler anymore.
Cross my fingers you get to the bottom of it. Ruairi
