What causes sweating? I don’t mean normal sweating,?
I soak my clothes, my head sweats and it pours out like a spigot over my ears. If I put my head down it runs in my eyes. I soak my pillow every night. It is not from exercising. I am sweating right now just from typing. it is a normal 70 degrees here. What is this from?
I take 10 medications a day for heart,blood pressure,diabetes, cholesterol, thyroid, spinal steno-sis, I take narcotics for pain, but can this cause this much sweating? I had a heart attack 2 years ago, and that was the main symptom, sweating, then paralysis. But my doctor says I’m okay. Someone out there have these symptoms? Please help. I have been sweating like this for 14 years. I know it is not normal and not exaggerated. I have only taken narcotics for 1 year. Could this be my thyroid? Is it sugar?
Help nurses doctors, someone, could this sweating be from my heart, diabetes, hypo- thyroid condition, or something else. I had a hysterectomy 16 years ago, I don’t think it is hot flashes. I have only this last year taken narcotics for pain. This sweating has gone on way longer. Including the diabetes is just my 1st year. Could 2 pills a day be too much. My sugar never goes over 200 usually is 90-115 2hours after eating. Should my thyroid be checked more often? What should I tell my doctor? I have been complaining of this sweating for 3 years and she never says anything, but it could be the narcotics, she used to say some people get really bad hot flashes. These are driving me insane. They are horrible.
Could this be the para thyroid glands? They regulate body temperature I think. Please anyone. Is there anyone out there going through this too?

Sweating is your body’s mechanism to cool itself. In most circumstances, it’s both natural and healthy. But some people experience frequent or constant excessive sweating — called hyperhidrosis (hi-pur-hi-DRO-sis).
Hyperhidrosis is the secretion of sweat in amounts greater than needed to cool the body. Hyperhidrosis usually affects the palms of the hands, soles of the feet and underarms. Besides disrupting normal daily activities, hyperhidrosis can cause social anxiety or embarrassment.
Fortunately, several options are available to treat hyperhidrosis. In severe cases, surgical procedures can be very effective at stopping sweat.
Excessive sweating is the secretion of sweat in amounts greater than needed to cool the body. Excessive sweating usually affects your palms, soles and underarms. Besides disrupting normal daily activities, excessive sweating can cause social anxiety or embarrassment.
Excessive daytime sweating of the palms, soles and underarms for no apparent reason is called focal hyperhidrosis. This type of excessive sweating typically stops when sleeping and isn’t associated with an underlying condition.
Excessive sweating that affects large areas of the body and that occurs while awake and asleep is likely a side effect of a drug or a sign of a disease or condition, such as menopause hot flashes, anxiety or overactive thyroid.
The cause of hyperhidrosis stems from your body’s temperature regulation system, specifically your sweat glands.
Your skin has two types of sweat glands: eccrine glands and apocrine glands. Eccrine glands occur over most of your body and open directly onto the surface of the skin. Apocrine glands develop in areas abundant in hair follicles, such as on your scalp, armpits and groin.
When your body temperature rises, your autonomic nervous system stimulates these glands to secrete fluid onto the surface of your skin, where it cools your body as it evaporates. This fluid (perspiration) is composed mainly of water and salt (sodium chloride) and contains trace amounts of other electrolytes — substances that help regulate the balance of fluids in your body — as well as substances such as urea.
The cause of hyperhidrosis depends on the type:
Focal hyperhidrosis. This most commonly involves excessive daytime sweating of your palms and soles, and sometimes the underarms for no apparent reason. It occurs equally on both sides — for example, both palms. The sweating typically stops when sleeping. Focal hyperhidrosis usually begins before age 20 and isn’t associated with an underlying condition. The exact cause of focal hyperhidrosis is unknown, but it may have a genetic component as it often runs in families.
Generalized hyperhidrosis. This type of hyperhidrosis affects large areas of the body. If it begins suddenly, it typically has an underlying cause, such as being a side effect of a drug or a sign of a disease or condition, such as menopause hot flashes, low blood sugar, overactive thyroid, leukemia, lymphoma, heart attack or possibly an infectious disease. Adjusting your medications or treating an underlying disease often solves this problem.
Medical causes of excessive sweating may include:
Endocarditis
Generalized anxiety disorder
Heart attack
Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid)
Leukemia
Medications, such as some beta blockers and tricyclic antidepressants
Menopause
Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
Stress
Tuberculosis
Basically an initial reaction of your body that strongly signifies that your body hormones is reacting and taking it’s necessary actions. It have something to do with your sweat glands too. It’s in the anatomy and physiology book that will give you a full detail on how this sweats are being generated.
