What Causes Excessive Sweating In The Upper Parts Of The Body?

I am experiencing excessive sweating in the upper part of my body when I am chilly. This has been occurring when I am in a room even when it is 70 degrees. The sweating usually occurs on my arms and chest and top of my back. Because my clothes get so wet, I can t get warm until I go home, take a hot bath or shower and put on dry clothes. My primary care doctor said I need more fat. I am 4 ft. 10 and weigh 95 lb. I don t know what specialty doctor I need to consult. christinawelch@verizon

Hi,

I couldn't get your age which will give some clue. Also the problem may be hormonal, related to thyroid. However you should consult an endocrinologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Arihant Pandey
