Excessive Sweating, Menopause. Taking Potassium Supplements, Wearing Hormone Patch. Causes For Sweating?

I am 57 year old post menopausal woman with excessive sweating on moving around. I have had numerous blood work done to see if I have an underlying condition but none have been found. I have started wearing a hormone patch for about a week, I have been exercising for about 3 weeks. I understand you need to sweat when working out or working outside. But when you are inside a 70 degree building and possibly just standing talking or setting up a table at church and you start sweating profusely there is something else you need. I have started taking a potassium supplement , do you think that will help?

Hello mam I read your question and understood your problem. I think the reason for your symptoms is the menopause itself.... Actually menopause doesn't occur in single day or wk.
Its hormonal change which takes at least 6mo to max of 2 to 3 yrs. Sometimes it may stay for 8yrs also and you are also having hormonal patch which dec sweating of menopause...
It may be resolved with in a few days.
