Hi
Sweating is a natural phenomenon to regulate body heat and occurs irrespective of your wish.If your body were not regulating temperature on its own,you would feel cold,indeed very cold, in the air conditioned atmosphere.Relax and do not stress it out.There are very few conditions where the body fails to sweat as a whole and they are extremely rare.If you are not sweating,it may be because your body has adjusted to the ambient temperature on its own without needing to sweat.
