What Causes Sudden Profuse Sweating In An Elderly Person?
My partner is a 70 yo man in apparently good health. While playing tennis, he suddenly began to sweat profusely and felt lousy . He ate dinner, rested through the evening, but still felt unwell. After a good nights sleep he feels almost back to normal. Should he be checked for a heart attack or other problems? Thank you.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, although it does not seems to be any heart disease but it can be ruled out on routine basis and looking to the age of it is 70 years in my opinion ECG and ECHO need to be tested hope this information helps.
