Hi welcome to HCM.
Excessive sweating in your case is due to sympathetic system overstimulation secondary to the onset of cardiac ischemia.I advise you to have a baseline EKG and a 2 dimensional echo of your heart.Rescheduling the warfarin dosage with maintenance of the INR in the ratio of 2.5 is advisable.Drugs like beta blockers can help to control the excessive sweating and heart rate.Consult your cardiologist for further queries.
Thank you
