Old Aged, Perspiring Excessively On Neck, Head, Feel Tired. What Should Be Done?
I am 78 yrs old and lately I am perspiring excessively on the front of my head and in back of neck. It happens all day on and off. Never had a perspiring problem before even when I played a lot of tennis in our 100 degrees climate. This has occurred in the last 6 months. I feel tired all the time.
