What Causes Excessive Sweating And Palpitations?

I am a 54 yr old female. when I was 16 I suffered severe heat exhaustion bordering on heat stroke. There were several years where I had to be careful after that because I would not sweat. Now I sweat too much if in the heat. Ever since that time I have been intolerant to temperatures above 85 degrees F. My face turns red I sweat profusely and and if I keep up what ever I am doing, walking, cleaning whatever my ears will start ringing, I get heart palpitations and feel extremely weak and physically wiped out. It leaves me exhausted. What happened to me? Can it be corrected. I m very frustrated because I want to be out doing things

Hello,

I would like to know if you are in menopause. This seems like hot flashes of menopause. Also check your thyroid hormone levels. It may be hyperthyroidism too.

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