Profuse Sweating
I have a severe problem with profuse sweating...I have had it for as long as I can remember...I can't keep my hair dry..my face is wet and dripping with sweat it's very embarrasing and disabeling. I can walk from my front door to the car and my face is sweating like I had ran a marathon...I can't go on like this I need suggestions please. I am 56 weight about 230 and in good health otherwise. I take asthma medication singular and abluteral inhaler as needed. Is there a medication I can take or a surgery? I can't stand this any longer it's living hell. I don't mean to sound so desperate but it's horrible to live like this I cry about it and stay so miserable. It can be below zero outside and I sweat...If I just sweep the floor I get so hot I have to take a break to cool down...the smallest amount of exercise makes me sweat badly. Sweat pours from my face, my back my clothes stick to me and my makeup runs off. ,my hair is wet...my face gets blood red and I'm just miserable daily. Is there an answer I would really appreciate some help. Thank you
I am 35 and I also suffer from sweats. I suffer very bad back pain and take a huge amount of pain relief. I don't have to even move and I sweat, it is so embarrassing. Sometimes I have to change clothes more than 3 times a day it is having a worse affect on my life than the back pain sometimes.
Wow, I just read this entire thread! I have this too! Excess sweating and red face, but only when I move, even though it can be very minimal activity. And always after the shower, I feel like I need another one. My underwear is always soaked in the creases at the top of my thighs and my hair drips with sweat. I am 47 and this started a couple of years ago and has gotten worse. Some of my friends think it might be peri-menopause, but I still get my period regularly and the sweating only happens when I move (though not much). It's so embarrassing - I am always dripping with sweat in line at the grocery and forget about having any sex because I am damp in my underwear. Plus, my face gets soooo red and stays red like a ran a marathon when just walking down the street. I am overweight, but I have been overweight plenty of times before and never sweat THIS much.
I noticed a lot of people have taken Effexsor and or other antidepressants (me too - tried Effexsor but hated it; used to be on Citalapram for years and now on Lexapro, Neurontin and welbutrin), many have had hysterectomies (not me) and many are over 40.
It is disgusting that so many of us are severely suffering from this and having to stay inside and no doctors seem to have a clue how prevalent it is. (I didn't know and am glad I am not alone, though my heart goes out to you all in empathy).
I feel like I can't do anything now. It's ridiculous. I am always sweating under my breasts too.
Perhaps we can start some kind of online group to investigate and share our finding with each other?
SOmeone in this thread mentioned Vitamin D and I was told by my doc that my Vitamin D was really low and I am taking it daily now. I wonder if many of us have that from staying inside due to this issue and not getting whatever sun we may need? I also noticed this past summer my reaction to the sun was worse than ever - itchy red rashes that lasted days after maybe 15 minutes in the sun. I wonder if this all has anything to do with it. It's maddening when the doctors seem to think we are exaggerating.

I have had this problem for years. It's just getting worse. Just the tiniest exertion like folding a towel and my face & neck are pouring sweat. I even leave a trail of sweat drops on the hardwood floors. Showers are awful - I can't cool down to even try putting makeup on. I had to get dressed to go to dinner with my adult son & new girlfriend, and I was sweating all through dinner. I was so embarrassed. I have lots of medical problems like RA, migraines, - etc. My doctors never give me a reason though. I got my hormones checked and I'm not even premenopausal. It ruins everything I try to do. I was just diagnosed with Central Sleep Apnea and got my CPAP today. I'm wondering if this somehow is connected.
Hello everyone. I have read many of the comments,(I feel for all). I am a 45 yr female, 5'5, 230ish lbs. My problem is while it is hot outside, and I am dripping, literally, wet with sweat, my head feels feverish, but the kicker is my arms and body are ice cold. I take Anti-D's, anxiety meds, and also 1 3xs day prescription pain meds & muscle relaxers for my spine. I had a Hysto in 2000,kept my ovaries so I don't think it's menopausal due to no night or irregular sweating. Also, my face turns red. Does ANYONE have a clue or any ideas about this? I have not seen my GP yet, as I am in great hopes of (Unfortunately) someone else is dealing with this too. Looking forward to any an all responses. Thanks. HoosierKymmi
