Suggest An OTC Medicine For Profuse Sweating

hi, I have a big problem. I am starting a job tomorrow that requires me to work outside in the heat. I take a substance called kratom. It may contribute to my sweating. I am worried I will sweat too much and someone will report me. I cannot get fired. I also used to sweat alot as a kid. I had a thyroid problem but that has now been resolved. I mainly sweat on my forehead. Beads of sweat turn to full on sweating running down my face. If I stop the kratom tomorrow it will be even worse. Are there any otc meds that can help with profuse sweating?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

* As per my clinical experience, the profuse sweating in your case is related to combination of stress, performance anxiety and thyroid alteration and not in relation to intake of herbal preparation Kratom. I would like to suggest

- meditations and deep breathing exercises

- YOGA

- walking in fresh air

- avoidance of smoking ( if involved )

- manage sound uninterrupted sleep of 7 hours

- adequate hydration with plenty of liquids

- latest evaluation of thyroid hormone profile

* Consult your physician for further guidelines if any therapy is needed or not as there are no OTC molecules to help you in this case.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
