What Causes Excessive Sweating And Numbness In Hand?
Question: My son will be 50 soon and today at work he said he felt very hot and sweating, also his hands turned white and numb, too. He does not have insurance as he earns under 10.00 an hr.
Brief Answer:
Low or high blood pressure, anaemia, hypoglycemia might be responsible
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HCM.
I have gone through your query.
It might be due to dehydration, anemia and hypoglycemia.
I would have done thorough general physical examination, checked his blood pressure as both low and high blood pressure can cause the symptoms mentioned.
I would have asked for investigation like random blood sugar and haemoglobin estimation. I would have waited for the investigation report as treatment will be based on it.
Hope this helps.
