Is Excessive Sweating In An 80-year-old Who Is Overweight And On Thyroid Medication A Cause For Concern?
Problem is, Excessive sweating about the head, even when doing common housework. Water just runs off me. In my eyes and down my neck. When exercising, I'm the only one that needs a towel. My age is 80 and am slightly overweight. What the heck is possibly Wrong??? Have annual checkup with doctor at end of the month. Should I be concerned? Only take medication for thyroid.

Hello,
It can be a sign of hyperthyroidism.
You can go for a thyroid function test to check whether the hormonal status is within normal limits or not.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
