What Causes Excess Sweating?
Question: I sweat a lot while walking or doing some other exercise. And not only that, I even sweat after walking and it's been quite a long time. Is it normal or a matter of concern?
Brief Answer:
Check for thyroid profile, haemogram.May be normal
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXX,
I went through the query and understood your concern.
No need to worry much. Sweating is a normal phenomenon.
Excessive sweating may occur due to increased body metabolism. The reason may be due to common causes like
1. Hyperthyroidism
2. Obesity
3. Anemia
So you need to check for thyroid profile and complete haemogram. If any problem then needs to manage them.
Since you don't have any other problem, if these investigations are normal then just maintain your normal body weight, do regular exercises and drink plenty of water. Wear slightly loose cotton dress. These will help you.
I hope this information helps you. Feel free to ask for any further queries. I will be glad to answer them.
Wish you faster recovery and good health.
Regards
