What Causes Persistent Sweating In An Elderly Person With Parkinson-plus Syndrome?

default
Posted on Sat, 24 Mar 2018
Question: My husband, age 79 with Parkinson's Plus, says he broke out in a sweat. The sweating has subsided and now his skin feels cold and clammy. He has had two heart stents about 15 years ago. He says he's fine and does not want to go to ER. Should I worry?
