Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries
I can understand your concern. Anxiety sweats usually occur due to central nervous system changes. In anxiety increased sweating occurs. In such situations medicines like Beta Blockers can be used. Medicines like Propranolol or Atenolol can be used. Propranolol if used in low doses not only help to reduce the autonomic manifestations of anxiety but also helps to reduce the sweating. You can discuss with your psychiatrist for prescription.
Relaxation exercises, breath holding exercises also help to reduce the autonomic symptoms of anxiety but need practice and time.
Thanks, Hope this helps you. Please don't hesitate to ask a follow up question.
