Why Do My Armpits Sweat So Much –

Sweating is a normal condition that occurs when the temperature inside the body gets increased; as a result unwanted substances are thrown out in the form of sweat. The body produces sweat to cool the body system in such hot conditions. Sweating mostly occurs when there is stress and anxiety in the mind which gets reflected in the form of sweat from the body. Sweating is a necessary function which cannot be ignored or stopped from happening.


Another thing to take into consideration is anxiety. Lots of people with sweat issues have anxiety issues as well. Feeling anxious or living a stressful life promotes and causes you to sweat more. In this day and age we are put into situations of stress that are unnatural. In nature stress was a result of seeing a predator or having to run from one. When we did our bodies would go into fight or flight. Our heart would start racing and all our bodily functions become geared towards movement.



The cause of hyperhidrosis is overactive sweat glands. There are two types of hyperhidrosis: generalized and focal. In generalized hyperhidrosis excessive sweating occurs over the entire body. It is often caused by a medical condition such as an infection a chronic disease or a disorder that disrupts the body’s natural balance of hormones.




  1. Reasons for dizzy spells, nausea and sweating for no reason?
    So for no reason I see I will get dizzy and sick to my stomach and sweat like crazy. This happens maybe a few times a month if that. I haven’t taken any drugs or alcohol and im at a decent weight for a teenager. My diet consists of what any normal teen would eat in my eyes. Any reasons why this would be happening cause I have no clue.


  2. Foot sweating causes burning foot pain while walking?
    My feet burn if I walk more than about 20 minutes. I have had this foot problem for several years and it bothers me immensley, I have flat feet and went to a podiatrist and he gave me orthotics – no help at all. Weird thing, I can walk forever with sandels, all over New York City for days no problem. After thinking about every symptom, the only thing I can isolate is that with shoes, my feet start sweating instantly and socks become very wet and damp, this is the only thing I can think of that would be the reason my feet burn when walking with shoes. If I wear socks on top of each other for more absorption it seems to ease the pain. I am wandering if anyone knows what this is, also I dont wear shoes often so if I started weraing them all the time maybe eventually feet would stop sweating?

      How long has the sweating been going on?
      When does the sweating occur? All day or only at night?
      Is there a fever? Does the person feel sick?
      Is there a family history of excessive sweating?
      Is the person taking any medications or illegal drugs?
