Heavy Sweating
Why do I sweat so much? By Lewis P. Stolman, MD
Nov. 6, 2000 -- The problem you describe is called hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating. And yes, there's lots you can do.
Sweating, of course, is perfectly normal. It's one way the body maintains its temperature. We sweat when it's hot or when we've been exercising vigorously. And when the moisture produced by perspiration evaporates, it cools the skin, and therefore the core temperature of the body.
But sometimes this nifty system goes awry. As many as one in 100 people suffer the kind of problem you're having: When they're under stress, the sweat starts flowing, usually on the palms, soles, face, and armpits.
For whatever reason, some people can undergo extreme stress and not sweat at all. Others find themselves drenched in perspiration from just having to say a few words at a meeting. We don't really understand why one person's threshold for sweating is different from another's. But we do know that the tendency to sweat under stress sometimes runs in families.
If you find yourself sweating all the time, and all over -- not just on your palms, soles, and underarms -- it may be a sign of a serious illness like tuberculosis, some kind of cancer, or thyroid disease. Talk to a doctor immediately.
Fortunately, most people who sweat heavily under stress aren't in any danger. But they may feel quite embarrassed, and the problem can get in the way of their careers. I've treated artists who can't work because their palms get too sweaty and musicians who have trouble playing their instruments.
How do you stop it? The simplest remedy is an antiperspirant, which can be used on hands and feet as well as in the underarm area. Over-the-counter versions work well. If these don't prove strong enough, you can ask your doctor for a prescription-strength version. And if that doesn't help, your doctor may suggest a tranquilizer (such as Valium) for those special occasions when you know you're likely to be extra nervous -- a job interview, some kind of public speaking, or even a first date.
In particularly stubborn cases, we may have to try other approaches. One option is surgery to remove sweat glands in the affected area. Another is to inject small amounts of Botox -- botulinum toxin -- to block the nerves that trigger sweat glands. This treatment must be repeated every 6 to 8 months, however, and the injections can be painful, especially in the palms and feet. Finally, if all else fails for sweaty hands, a surgical procedure may be performed to sever the nerves to the affected sweat glands. However, this is a serious operation that carries with it the risk of complications.
In my experience, the simplest and most cost-effective way to turn off the faucet is a treatment called iontophoresis. This involves applying a low-level electrical current to the affected area, which essentially blocks the sweat duct. For many patients, a one-time treatment may control excessive sweating for good.
The bottom line: Don't worry too much if stress leaves you with sweaty palms and damp circles under your arms. Make the right moves and you can stay dry. You shouldn't have to sweat it forever.

Lose Weight Fat Boy I would suggest seeing your doctor as soon as possible so that you can get the best possible solution to this problem. It can't be nice for you feeling soggy and dripping all day long and I really do hope that it can be easily solved to make things better for you.
Go to your doctor for a simple blood test to rule out problems with your thyroid. Thyroid disorders (hyperthyroidism or Graves Disease in particular) show themselves in increased sweating (amongst other things). If you have been losing weight or have noticed a small lump in your neck, chances are you have a thyroid disorder (although the lump and weight loss are by no means always present).
If your doctor rules out a thyroid disorder, you should try drinking sage tea instead of caffeinated products (which stimulate the thyroid and, as a side effect, sweat production). Just steep 1oz of dried sage with 1 and a half pints of boiling water for 30 minutes. Add 1oz sugar and lemon juice or lemon rind to taste. Then strain and drink as and when desired. This is an old remedy which is still used today as it is cooling to the body. The sage tea can be consumed hot or cold, so it is ideal for use in the summer too.
I hope things work out for you. As a victim of Graves Disease myself, I would not wish it on my worst enemy so I sincerely hope you don't have this condition.
Good luck
The best way and beneficial one to eliminate your sweat forever is that to take a shower and rub two or three lemons on your body. Rub your breasts and then massage your (between your legs) main organ with a little cream until complete orgasm. Take care when you reached to absolute orgasm take the water from your main organ, which has flow from inside it, and rub it on your sweaty areas. Do it for five days after that keep me informed. You won’t be regretted, rather happy and thankful can be hormone imbablance too. go GP and find out. good luck
