Question: why does eating make me sweat

Answered by Dr. Ivo Ditah (18 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
For how long has this being going on?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
After eating the body temperature normally increases. If the food was hot, then this would be even more significant and you can sweat.

For how long has this been going on? Do you have any other digestive symptoms as well like running stomach, abdominal pains?

In all, most likely a normal reaction to food intake. If this has gotten worse or is too disturbing, please detail out the symptoms for more analysis and insights.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

I only sweat from the neck up. It is very annoying and embarrassing at times.
I don't sweat anywhere else on my body

Brief Answer:
I understand you fully!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Have you tried modifying your speed of eating. Is there any change when you eat slowly or very fast? This is difficult and sure there is nothing that would address this specifically. Try to identify various measures that help mitigate the sweating and make it less evident.

I wish you well.
