What Causes Profuse Sweating And Hyperthermia?

I am constantly overheating, this causes me to sweat profusely, relief is found only when I am completely motionless sitting in front of a fan or a.c. in extreme cold weather a short walk will overheat me and cause excessive sweating whilst others are rugged up I only wear light clothing. After a cool shower I feel comfortable and yet by the time I finish dressing I am overheating and sweating, I end up soaked with damp clothing minutes after showering unless I sit in front of my a.c whilst dressing very very slowly. In hot weather it is unbearable and embarrising, cooler months only slightly better. I constantly look like I have just finished vigourus excersise, these are a few examples please help

Hi
Welcome to HCM!
Age, gender, duration of symptoms not mentioned.
Any how I can understand your feelings.

I have gone through the problems described in your question.
Excessive sweating and fever can be seen in a number of conditions like Hyperthyroidism (increase production of thyroid hormones), Post menopausal symptoms ( In females after the menses stop say after the age of 45 yrs), can also be due to anxiety neurosis.

Certain drugs can also produced excessive sweating and raised body temperatures.

So you are advised to visit the doctor for proper examination with relevant lab tests to find out the cause and eventually the treatment.
Best regards
I find this answer helpful
