WHAT CAUSES EXCESSIVE SWEATING?
Excessive sweating refers to levels of sweating that make daily activities difficult. Having an excessive amount of sweat can disrupt your day-to-day life and cause crippling anxiety and embarrassment. Some people even avoid certain social or work events because they’re worried they’ll get too stressed or nervous and sweat to an embarrassing degree.
COMMON CAUSES OF EXCESSIVE SWEATING
Excessive sweating is commonly caused by stress. Two other factors are genetic make-up or an underlying medical condition. If excessive sweating has no underlying medical cause, it simply means that the nerves responsible for triggering your sweat glands are overactive and prompt sweat production even when it's not needed. It’s important to see a qualified physician to receive an accurate assessment before you can rule out any underlying medical conditions, such as diabetes, malaria, menopause or obesity.
