Hi,I am Dr. Andrew Rynne (Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a 53 year old male who recently lost my job and changed high blood pressure medication (Losartan 100MG). Over the last 6 months, i have began sweating more than normal. The sweat occurs on the palms of my hands, soles of my feet, under my arms and on my scrotum (which is the most uncomfortable). it appears to occur wherever I have sweat glands. The odd things is, the sweat is sticky (my skin becomes tacky and feels like I have glue or something on it). It even occurs after I bath. I have had blood & urine tests that revealed nothing abnormal. I have setup appointments with a Dermatologist. any thoughts as to what could be the cause?
