Abnormal sweating!!!!!!! What does it indicates?Is it a kind of illness?

hi,friend,i think it is the starting character of Blood Pressure....it may lead to heart problem also,So immediately go to doctor and get good suggestions.All the best and have a nice day.

Sounds like your metabolism is going well. Perhaps a thyroid problem which could be checked out for sure. Spicy or hot meals do warm you from within and fear can raise your adreneline. Not sure why you would cover your face and cause possibly headaches from breathing in less oxygen. Consider what you can from my observations.

As far as I'm aware many people sweat in abnormal circumstancs, such as when they are scared or eating something very hot or hearing bad news. Why do you cover your face when you sleep? I am including some links which might be of use to you but I really recommend that you speak to your doctor or a medical professional to put your mind at ease. Asking this question here in this forum might get you some good advice but also remember; none of us here are professionals - if we were doctors, we'd hardly have time to be on a site like this:) http://www.wisegeek.com/why-do-we-sweat.htm http://www.howstuffworks.com/sweat.htm http://www.antiperspirantsinfo.com/english/sweat.php http://www.coolquiz.com/trivia/explain/docs/sweat.asp Good luck!

I do not think this sounds much out of the ordinary. Well, I do not know how much you sweat. If you are worried about it you should talk to your doctor about it.

Didin't you think about some relaxation practice? It sounds like you worry too much? Maybe you have just too much bad imagainations about a lot of things and you should change it? Too less self confidence? Well, I can tell you, my young sister had a problem similar to yours and she has had try almost everything and just one thing helped. Sweat off - it's a german product and it helps hm well your underarm can beeing a little bit red at first time you use it(my sister had)but it becomes back normal after a day or two and when you use it you shouldn't sweat a whole week at all, then you use it again and again week without sweating hmm it reduce sweating and after maybe a couple of weeks maybe you have not use it anymore because you will be not sweating anymore, it repair the system of sweating of your body and turns it to normal. But don't you think you just should change your thinking? ... Goodluck ! :)

If you relate with the homeopathy then it is also a kind of disease. I have sweating from my foot a lot. I couldn't wear bathroom sleeper as it can be sleeped out of my foot due to excess of sweating. But now i have get rid of this problem by using homeopathy medicine.

I created a discussion months ago on the condition of Hyperhidrosis: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/401644.aspx My son suffered with this condition from the time it was visibly noticeable at age 3, until he finally had the surgery to correct the condition. Over the years, because the disorder isn't so well-known, doctors treated it like it was nothing really important. But as he got older it hindered him socially, and even educationally because the sweating was so severe. The treatments they gave him over the years were 'drysol' (only gives temporary relief and must be reapplied every hour or so depending on severity), he had to use an at home machine called a 'drionic', which uses shock waves through water to shock the nerve endings in his hands, which was how his Hyperhidrosis manifested (feet, hands, and facial blushing for him)--this treatment never worked, but the machine was costly. They suggested the botox treatment, BUT it is still in clinical trial and they do not know the long term reprecussions from it's use, PLUS it doesn't cure the condition, it is quite painful of a treatment, which has to be done every 3-6 months and it too is costly. My son finally had ETS when he was 17, they cut the nerve or clamp the nerve that is related to our ability to sweat in certain areas. He has no hand or feet sweating now. You should go to your physician and speak to them about the condition and ask them about hyperhidrosis.

I think it is normal to have sweating in your condition. It is not normal if you are not having any events and suddenly you sweat, that's when you must start to feel worry. In your case here, I think there is nothing to worry about. My husband is the same as you in number (2). He sweats a lot while eating no matter it is a hot meal or not. Actually it is good if you have a lot of sweating because your body is able to expel unwanted toxic easily.

Yes well when you get this amount of sweating this is normally caused from blood pressure and that is why you are sweating this amount as your blood pressure is rising and causing this to happen. Have you seen a doctor in regards to this as I believe that you should see one as soon as possible.

Well I don't know but why don't I feel it abnormal...infact I would say please don't use any anti perspirant--- it is ognna be adverse --gonna close all ur pores of perspiration--an d as a result--you stop a form of excretory system through skin--- are you getting me...you ccan use roll ons etc to stop the stinking smells, and if it is really excessive--it may be a case of blood pressure...would be suggestible to visit your doc soon!!

The situations you are stating are all situations that normally might make people sweat more. There is nothing really abnormal about it. Stress and anxiety of any kind - fear, bad news, etc - will do it, after meals some people tend to sweat a bit, and of course if your body temperature is normal, the outside temperature is normal and you're completely covered, believe me it's normal to sweat:) If you think it's really too much, you can check with the doctor to check your thyroid and blood sugar, but the way you say it, it sound just normal. In your profile it doesn't show your gender, so I might be making a mistake here, but menopause is known to be a common cause for excessive sweating, so you might take that in consideration as well. In terms of remedies, apart from extreme ones like removing sweat glands which can have serious side effects of course, and some other medications that the doctor can prescribe as well, but are not without bad side effects at all, the easiest should be turning you body a bit more acidic - apple cider vinegar usually helps, both taken internally - about 1 to 2 teaspoons in a glass of water with honey if you like - or added to water and washing. Baking soda seems to help a bit too if the apple cider vinegar doesn't work well. Also someone mentioned Certain dry, which is an anti-perspirant, not a deodorant. It seems to work well too. From what I heard you can use it at night, and then use your normal deodorant in the morning.

Brijendra, I too sweat under those circumstances you listed. I guess it is the way the body reacts to cool down when one is 'heated' due to fear or anxiety or hot temperature. The question is how much sweating is considered abnormal? I would not consider it abnormal unless you always sweat profusely. Let me share an article I got from the internet. I copied it here for your reference. Q: I HAVE A REALLY EMBARRASSING PROBLEM: EXCESSIVE PERSPIRATION. MY DOCTOR SAYS SURGERY IS THE ONLY SOLUTION, BUT IS THERE ANOTHER OPTION? A: You've got something called hyperhidrosis, or abnormal sweating. One percent of the general population has hyperhidrosis, which typically affects the scalp, face, armpits, trunk or feet. By far the most distressing area is the hands, because they're used socially much more than any other part of the body. "Some of my patients' hands literally drip perspiration," says board-certified surgeon Rafael Reisfeld, M.D., F.A.C.S., of the Beverly Hills Center For Special Surgery. The symptoms usually start in childhood. Anyone can have hyperhidrosis, which is often genetic, but the condition may have a special impact on black folks. "Many of my African American male patients seem particually troubled by this very embarrassing condition," says Dr. Reisfeld. You can try prescription strength antiperspirant such as Maxim ($13.95 at excessivearmpitsweating.com) but unfortunately, effective remedies are elusive. Very little is known about alternative treatments for hyperhidrosis, says Eric Jones, N.D., a naturopathic physician at the Bastyr Center For Natural Health in Seattle. Dr. Reisfeld agrees. "I encourage my patients to try whatever treatments they can," he says, adding that, "very few report success." The best news for many people with hyperhidrosis is that it's not a 24-7 condition. "Some people find that anxiety triggers episodes," admits Dr. Reisfeld. But the sweating stops during sleep and comes and goes during the day. The most effective treatment, however, is a surgical procedure called endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy. The doctor attaches a small clip to a chest nerve that regulates sweating. The clip blocks nerve messages, offering a permanent fix. It's performed endoscopically through a tiny incision. Although only a handful of surgeons perform the procedure, which was developed and perfected over the past 10 to 12 years, it does work.

Brijendra, it happens normally. Just relax. The level of perspiration varies from person to person. Nervous people tend to sweat more. Sweat is the body's temperature regulator. It's elementary function through which the body throws out toxins and digestive by products. It helps to reduce stress, induces relaxation as in your case you sweat when you hear something bad. Some people are doomed to sweat all through life. Embarrassing and uncomfortable, hyperhidrosis, as excessive sweating, is medically known occurs when sweat glands go into overdrive. usually due to neurological reason, hormonal imbalances.So, do not take your abnormal sweating seriously. Here are some remedies. 1. After your bath, add a tablespoon of honey to tepid water for the final rinse. In summer, add a cup of full vinegar or camphor to your bath. 2. Limit the intake of foods that rich in lecithin or choline or cantine/lysine such as soya products, corn, wheat and also chocolates, peanuts, nuts, raisins, cereal, eggs. Avoid food that generates heat in your body. Such food leads to restless behavour and a nervous nature. 3. Stay calm always. Hope you will find something better. Thank you.
