Hi,
If you are having unusual sweating during this period, it might be related to:
- drops in blood sugar levels
- hormonal problems you are having (menopause) as you are not having your periods for 3 years
- thyroid problems.
I advise to measure your blood sugar levels and blood pressure when you are sweating to exclude hypoglycemia and hypotension. If nothing, then, should get your thyroid checked. If still everything is fine, then, it is because of menopause.
Try to drink more water, have your meals regularly and get primrose oil supplement to improve symptoms you are having.
All the best!
