To rule out Endocrine abnormality

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

Dear Ms,

I sympathize with your situation.
Excessive sweating, shortness of breath while exercise, one of the possibility I would like to rule out is Endocrine abnormality.
It is always imprtant to thoroughly investigate every individucal clinical scenario before attributing to the age factor .

I would strongly consider the possibility of Hyperthyroidism as cause of your symptoms.
HAs it been considered as the possibility by any of your physicians?

Feeling of excessive heat without documented fever, more like to be due to Endocrine abnormality.

Take Care
