Hello everyone. For this article, I am going to share my list of the top 5 causes of excessive sweating. I have dealt with excessive sweating frequently over the last few years. It all started when I was around 15-16 years old. It quickly became something I was very self conscience about. Over the years, I have learned a lot about it and done a lot of research about why I (and millions of other people) sweat so much. This is the list I have come up with of the top 5 causes of excessive sweating.
5. Anxiety
Do you suffer from anxiety? Do you get anxious easily? How do you handle it? Anxiety can be a major cause of sweating. This is because anxiety is a bit more difficult to control. If you are working out and you are sweating, then you can stop. But if you are anxious, you may not be able to stop the anxiety, leading to excessive sweating. If you find yourself dealing with frequent anxiety, talk to a doctor!
4. Sickness
Another major cause of excessive sweating can be due to a sickness. If you have the flu or have a fever, this can definitely lead to sweating. Remember to see a doctor if you are too sick!
3. Medications
If you have recently started taking a new medication, this could be the cause of your sweating. Many medications have side effects that include sweating. If you noticed they started around the same time, that may be your answer!
2. Primary Focal Hyperhidrosis
You might be wondering what this is. Well, Primary Focal Hyperhidrosis according to WebMD affects up to 1-3% of the population and it generally starts in your childhood. It generally affects specific body parts though, such as your hands or feet. Researchers believe it has to do with a minor problem in the nervous system. It's not serious though, so don't sweat it. No pun intended! Okay, maybe it was intended.
1. General Hyperhidrosis
And finally, we come to the number 1, general hyperhidrosis! This is just like Primacy Focal Hyperhidrosis, only it makes your entire body sweat. Like above, it's not serious, but it can sure be a pain!
I hope this list of the top 5 causes for excessive sweating has helped you! Once you understand why you may be sweating excessively, you can begin to work on preventing it from happening! Good luck!
