What Causes Excessive Sweating?
What can cause excessive generalized sweating. I am a 64 year old woman. I start excessively sweating at any random time with and without exertion. I get short of breath but my heart is fine. I was just hospitalized and everything checked out fine with my heart.

Hi
Welcome
I have gone through your query.
Excessive sweating is noted with hyperthyroidism.
I would suggest you to get thyroid function test, based on the report one can decide on the next management plan.
Hope this helps
Take care
