Dear User,
First of all...be relax and rest assured that you are not going crazy. Excessive sweat can be caused by number of factors and stress is one of them. Excessive sweating can also be a symptom of anxiety disorder especially if you have other symptoms feeling anxious at work, palpitations, sleep disturbances, etc. You also need to check your thyroid levels as hyperthyroidism can also cause excessive sweating. If you have further doubts feel free to contact us.
