Hi Dear ,

As per your query you have problem of excessive sweating ( Hyperhidrosis
) specially when you are in rush . Well there can be many reasons for excessive sweating like :-
- Diabetic hypoglycemia
- Endocarditis
- Fever
- Generalized anxiety disorder
- Heart attack
- Heat exhaustion
- Obesity
- Stress
I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may order certain test like sweat test ( This involves coating some of their skin with a powder that turns purple when the skin gets wet ) , ask some question like areas of sweating and physical examination . Doctor may prescribe antiperspirants , Iontophoresis and botulinum toxin injections .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
