What Causes Excessive Sweating And Appetite Loss?

Hello, I have a question about my 67 year old mother. She has these sudden episodes where she sweats extremely (like she just got out of the shower, multiple times a day), the sweat has a foul odor, she can t stay awake, and she has no energy or appetite. After a couple of days she gets slight diarrhea. She has had numerous tests run but no one can find the cause. Any ideas? Thanks, Cindy

Thanks for contacting healthcare magic.

According to your complain you have problem of sweating that may be because of hyperthyroidism.
Check thyroid function test.

Menopausal may lead to more sweating problem.
Hyperhidrosis may ruled out.

Some anxiety disorder may cause more sweating problem.

Consent a physician for further diagnosis.
