What Causes Excessive Sweating?

. I have sudden episodes of sweating as if I had been running hard, but in fact it happens while I m inactive. Even when sleeping. I know it s not menopause because i ve gone through that already and that feels very different. Are these sudden sweating episodes symptoms of any disease?
