What Causes Severe Sweating In The Body?
I perspire a great deal. I am always hot, and sometimes the sweat runs down my scalp onto my neck. My back and also the area under my breasts gets very wet with perspiration. I had a total hysterectomy when I was 40 yr old. I am shaking now also. What do you think could be the cause of this?

HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic.
Excessive sweating and feeling hot could be due to hormonal imbalance that too most commonly due to Thyroid or Estrogen Imbalance . Other posssibility are Liver diseases or Carcinoid Syndrome .
I advise you to get the following tests and revert back :
Serum TSH , Estradiol , LFT .
Any clarifications or Queries feel free to ask.
Happy to help you.
Regards.
