What Causes Excessive Sweating While On Oxycontin And Prednisone?

Hello, I take a lot of medication including Oxycontin. I am a 74 yr old male. I have had periods of sweating that last for up to 3 hours. If I sit in front of a fan or in an air-conditioned car I feel better but it may not stop the sweating. I have been on prednisone for a rheumatic condition. My blood pressure has been normal during these episodes. What could be causing this, and is there something I should change or be concerned about this. It usually happens early in the day.
