Do you always sweat without doing anything

If you always sweat without doing anything, you are probably suffering from hyperhidrosis. Hyperhidrosis is an excessive perspiration or sweating of the underarms, of the palms and soles of the feet. Underarm problems usually tend to start in late adolescence, while palm and sole sweating often begins earlier. If untreated, these problems may continue throughout life.

Although neurologic, metabolic, and other systemic diseases can sometimes cause hyperhidrosis, this can also occur in healthy people. Hyperhidrosis in some people is being triggered by heat and emotions, but many people who suffer from hyperhidrosis sweat nearly all their waking hours, regardless of the weather or their mood.

Treatment for hyperhidrosis depends on the underlying cause. Some ways of treating excessive sweating are the following: OTC antiperspirants, prescription strength antiperspirants, iontophoresis, oral medications, botox and surgery.

BACKGROUND

Excessive sweating reflects instability of the part of the brain called the autonomic nervous system. It affects about 2% of the population.

If you‘ve had it since childhood, it is probably genetic. If not, consider hormonal imbalances, stress, anxiety and infections.

Common Causes

Estrogen and progesterone deficiency

Estrogen and progesterone deficiency with menopause and peri-menopause. This can begin as much as 12 years before periods stop and your blood tests for menopause become abnormal. The tipoff is that the sweats/flashes are worse around and in the week before your period and/or having irregular periods.

Testosterone deficiency

(In men) Consider this if you have fatigue, low libido, difficulty with erections, high cholesterol, or depression.

Infections

Infections of many types. Sinusitis or spastic colon suggests yeast overgrowth in both men and women.

Drops in blood sugar

Caused by a low adrenal.

Acid reflux

Acid reflux being inhaled (especially at night while sleeping). Taking Pepcid or Tagamet at bedtime for a few nights to see if night sweats lessen will tell you if this is the cause.

CFS/FMS

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia.

Overactive thyroid

If racing heart, weight loss and palpitations.

TREATMENT

Treat Underlying Causes

Treat any underlying causes discussed under Background. Begin with anxiety if sweating is worse during stress.
Recommended Supplements

Black cohosh

The herb black cohosh is very helpful for sweats/hot flashes in general (use the Remifemin form).

Soy bean pods

For menopause symptoms, soy bean pods (called "edamame" — available in the freezer section in most grocery stores) 1 handful a day can be helpful, as these naturally raise estrogen levels. Alternatively, use bioidentical estrogen from a holistic physician.
Medications

If sweating in just a small area (e.g., palms or soles), rub a regular antiperspirant onto those areas. If it persists and is annoying, see a dermatologist. They have many options including:

Aluminum salts

Botox injections
