What Causes Severe Sweating After Recovery From Pneumonia?

Hi. About two years ago i fell very ill with a bad case of pneumonia. Prior to the pneumonia, it took a lot to actually make me sweat (i.e very hot conditions and intense cardio workouts), though throughout the pneumonia i was experiencing terrible sweats. After i had recovered from the pneumonia, i became very worried, as i was still sweating a lot more than i was prior to the pneumonia. My face, hands, feet, back, and armpitts are these areas of increased sweating, so pretty much everywehere. This worries me a lot, as i know that naturally i barely sweat at all. I am wondering could my nervous system be permanently damaged from the pneumonia? What is most likely the cause of the sweats? Is surgery the only cure? Will my body eventually realize that it is sweating far more than necessary? Thanks, Brenton

Thanks for posting you query to health care magic.
pneumonia is a infection of lung usually caused by bacteria or virus it dosnt harm your nervous system and sweating is not a complication of pneumonia . sweating could be due to some other associated disease or hormonal disturbance which will be cured by medication only will not require surgery . you need to do only thing is consult to a endocrinologist for evaluation of you probelem and he will cure you.
Hope you would be satisfied with my answer . Feel free to communicate if any query .
