Brief Answer:
Supportive care
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Intolerance to heat and humidity with excessive sweating ( hyperhidrosis) and facial flushing and normal heart workup could point in many directions. It may be due to hormonal causes like overactive thyroid or gonadal hormones. It could be metabolic causes like diabetes mellitus . It could be a side effect of some medication you been using. It could be some acute infection. It could be generalised anxiety disorder. Or it could be post menopausal symptoms ( too late but still possible).
COnsult your doctor, let them run some tests to rule out possible cause for this over sweating and prescribe you with some supportive antiperspirants like drysol and xerac and discuss other possible treatment options here.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
