Suggest Treatment For Profuse Sweating In Elderly
I am 63 years old and when I am getting ready to go out, when I am in a store and etc. sweat starts on my head, in my hair and running down my face until I actually fog up my glasses. What can I do, my doctor says it is from not exercising but I just don t believe this. I alway sweat in private parts of my body too. Please help, I literally am embarrassed to go out in public.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, let me tall you something what ever may be the reason is there for excessive sweating it is not the pathological reason it is not the disease condition so no need to worry about this, more over any associated symptoms needs to be watch out like breathing difficulty dizziness, fatigue, in presence of this condition can be examined for cardiac disease hope this information helps.
