What Causes Excessive Sweating And Palpitations?
I m having a colonoscopy tomorrow and have been drinking liquids all day. I have had several times when I have perspired profusely and have had rapid heartbeats. I never perspire,even when it s hot outside. It has happened about 3 or 4 times today. and then goes away. I m normally always cold and have felt warmer than usual.

You could be dehydrated Because the preparation of colonoscopy requires you to be purging the whole time please step up on your liquids take more.
