Excessive Sweating Causes

What are some of the causes of excessive sweating?  There are many, but most people sweat heavily due to a condition known as Hyperhidrosis.  This is not a serious medical condition, but accounts for profuse sweating in about 3% of the population.  You may break out in a heavy sweat frequently, even when temperatures are cool and others feel comfortable.  Other excessive sweating causes may be related to anxiety, stress, or panic disorders.  When your nerves get tied up and you become over anxious, you start sweating, along with other symptoms such as heart palpitations and shortness of breath.  No matter why you sweat profusely, it can lower your self-esteem, and be quite embarrassing.  For many people, this condition disrupts their life.  They may avoid social settings, intimacy and other normal functions because of the drenching sweat that often occurs at any given moment.  For those who suffer from Hyperhidrosis, Stop Sweating & Start Living will put an end to the problem - naturally, without medications.  It has helped a tremendous amount of sufferers stop sweating, for good!

Other excessive sweating causes include medical conditions such as:

• Overactive thyroid
• Diabetes
• Infection
• Menopause
• Alcoholism
• Heart Failure
• Cancer, especially Leukemia and lymphoma

In these medical conditions, excessive sweating is usually general, meaning you sweat all over rather than in one specific area such as the underarms, head, face, hands or feet.  Excessive sweating may also be caused by medications you are taking, such as antibiotics, supplements like cold remedies that contain zinc, and the antidepressants Prozac and Paxil.  If you wonder what may be the cause of your excess sweating, consult your doctor to determine if there is any underlying issue.

One major cause of excessive sweating is night sweats or hot flashes, which are very common in menopause.  At any given moment, many women break out in a hard sweat.  When hot flashes occur while you are sleeping, it is known as night sweats.  It is miserable, but there are solutions that are extremely effective, including herbal supplements and sleepwear made of wicking material.  This type of excessive sweating is caused by hormonal fluctuations that occur during menopause and perimenopause.
