What Causes Excessive Sweating?

Hi, for about the last 2 months I have been having frequent episodes of sudden sweats so severe that my entire body is very wet then I will become very chilled , I become very nauseated. I have no fever with this. I have type 2 diabetes controlled with metformin that is within normal range with these epidodes. I also have hypertension and hypothyroidism. During the episodes blood pressure remains stable. I am 55 years old and already on hormone therapy . I have notice I may have 6-10 episodes a day more frequent at nite. I am also having fatigue with muscle soreness when I have several episodes, but I thought that that was probably related to the fact that I also have myositis.Any help would be appreciated
