What Causes Sweating With Clamminess?
Hi, my mother has Lewy Body dementia, on namenda, aricept and risperadone. She has started sweating but no fever and body is clammy. Almost like a hypoglycemic patient. Can you please tell me if this is a complication of te Lewy body or probably something else..Thank you

Hello,
Sweating is a complication related to hypoglycemia. Sometimes, it can be related to aricept adverse effects. I recommend consulting with her attending physician for a physical exam and some tests:
- Complete blood count, PCR, ESR
- Thyroid hormone levels
- Fasting glucose
- Blood electrolytes
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
