What Causes Excessive Sweating After Mild Exertion?
Question: After some mild exertion I began to sweat profusely on my forehead and on the base of my scalp at the hair line. My blood pressure is normally 70/120. What causes this?
The exertion came from unloading some things from my car. There were a few boxes and several bags. None of them were exceptionally heavy but I did make 6 or 7 trips from my garage into my house.
