Hi, I Have An Embarrassing Question. Not All The Time,

Hi, I have an embarrassing question. Not all the time, but often, my armpit sweat smells like cat urine. Sometimes I have that typical "BO" normal odor, but for the last few years it's more often the cat urine smell. I have developed excessive underarm sweating in general since my 30's (I'm 37) associated with increased anxiety/nervousness that seems to cause the sweating episodes and these periods of sweating are more often the ones that smell like cat urine. Basically, I'm a nervous sweater now and it unfortunately has a cat urine odor which makes me even more anxious and self conscious. What causes this smell and what's the best way to reduce the smell? I'm ok with sweating, just not smelling like cat pee. Thanks
