What Causes Unusual Sweating?
Question: I AM 76 YEARS OLD & HAVING SWEATS WHICH DON'T FEEL LIKE THE HOT FLASHES I HAVE HAD FOR YEARS. I WAS TRYING TO CHECK MY MEDICATIONS TO SEE IF ANY ONE OF THEM HAVE THESE SIDE EFFECTS. THESE SWEATS START IN MY HAIR AND GO TO MY WAIST.
I have had open heart surgery twice and have a pacemaker. I'm taking a lot of medications and wonder if this has anything to do with this.

Brief Answer:
The medications are unlikely to be the cause.Its due to hormone deprivation
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through the mentioned details and understand your concerns. Let me assure you that hot flushes occur due to hormone deprivation and not due to side effect of the medications that you might be taking. In a post-menopausal female hot flushes occur due to the drop in hormonal levels and hormone replacement can help in resolution of the symptoms. You can visit a gynecologist or endocrinologist and talk about the same.
Hope that helps.
