Brief Answer:
Heavy sweating at your age is due to hormonal imbalance.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Royce, welcome to Health care magic,
Heavy sweating at your age is due to hormonal imbalance.
Hormonal imbalance can be due to----
It could be menopausal if you have had a late menopause or had been taken HRT (hormone replacement therapy) and now discontinued.
Or it could be due to blood sugar going low at night.
Or due to Blood pressure going up at night.
Can you get your blood sugar and BP checked at a mall/supermarket/chemist?
And can you tell me about your menopause/HRT status?
Are you taking any other medication?
Or simply--is it too warm and stuffy and A/C not working optimally?
Please revert back so that I can help you.
Regards
