What Does Sudden Episodes Of Profuse Sweating Suggest?
Question: what can cause you to feel your face get very hot and then brake out into a profuse sweat out of no where
Brief Answer:
Sweating
Detailed Answer:
I am sorry to hear about your sweating problem.
There are a few hormone related possibilities here:
1 Menopausal symptoms
If your menstrual cycles are regular then this is unlikely
2 Over active thyroid
'Hyperthyroidism' can result in such feeling of heat and sweating
3 Pheochromocytoma
This is a rare condition in which typically there are episodes of sweating, headache and heart-racing
4 Acromegaly
This is also a rare medical condition in which there is excess growth hormone in the body resulting in excessive sweating
Discuss this with your doctor and see if you need to be tested for these potential causes
