Excessive Sweating: How to Tell If You Have It?

Hyperhidrosis is the clinical term of excessive sweating. It is a medical condition which means that a person sweats even when the temperature is cool or when they are just stationary.

There is truth in how different people sweat at different rates. Dr. Dee Anna Glaser of St. Louis University says, “Some people start sweating more easily than others.”

However, all people can sweat a little too much. Observe if you sweat even if you’re just in your room with the AC on. Do you feel dehydrated no matter how much you drink? You may need to see your doctor for hyperhidrosis

Characterizing Excessive Sweating

There are two major types of hyperhidrosis. The first one is called primary hyperhidrosis. It happens due to overactive nerves that control your sweat glands. You perspire even when you don’t need to regulate your body temperature.

Secondary hyperhidrosis, on the other hand, is caused by a medical condition. These include hyperthyroidism, menopause, stress, and obesity among many others. It is best to consult a doctor to determine your hyperhidrosis and what’s causing it.
