Question: I started sweating about 4-5wks ago to the point where am now sweating profusely. Even just working in my kitchen in refrigerated air I will start sweating. If I just sit and don't move then I don' sweat. Just walking from car to store I will sweat to point where I am not going out unless necessary and planned.
