Brief Answer:
Probably side effect of the drugs you are taking.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

The increased sweating can be caused by different causes like infections like T3, malignancies such Hodgkin's disease , metabolic diseases and disorders (thyrotoxicosis, diabetes, hypoglycemia).
I would recommend you to do a total blood count and formula also biochemical blood balance.
Also I want to know if you are taking any medications such tricyclic anti-depressants, propranolol, venlafaxine etc. that are known to cause excessive sweating as side effect.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
