Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I think you may need to do some blood tests to check for possible conditions which can cause these symptoms.
Please do a total blood count with formula, thyroid hormone balance, T3, T4 and TSH and TBC test.
There are several conditions that cause the these excessive sweating such hyperthyroidism, Hodgkin lymphoma, tuberculosis, HIV /AIDS etc.
These blood tests will screen some of these conditions and we can find the origin of these sweating.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
