Greetings,
I suffer from sweating issues. It used to be just when I worked hard. I'd sweat so much that I would be drenched down to my underwear. I would drink a couple liters of electrolytes to keep from fainting. I got used to this for years. My resting pulse is also rapid, 100-110 bpm.
The sweating is now happening several times a day, even when I walk the dog at 6:30 AM when its quite cool outside. My thyroid meds were checked & are fine, so referred to a Cardiac specialist. I'm scheduled for a stress test tomorrow, so I get to sweat all over their treadmill...
But it was a blood test that the Cardiac doctor ordered that has brought another possible cause to light. He measured the hormones produced by my Adrenal Glands - and the came back high on the "fight or flight" hormones. Which indicates a possible tumor (usually benign) on my Adrenal Glands. So, I'm also scheduled for a CAT scan for this.
I'm relating all this as I know there are many of us with sweating issues, and this is another possibility to examine. I'm not sure what I'm hoping for in this complex issue, probably survival without changing sweat soaked clhes 3-4 times a day...
