What causes excessive sweating, even when we’re not hot or nervous?
Excessive sweating is called hyperhidrosis, and can be caused by several different things. Hormonal imbalance or an overactive thyroid gland could be the culprit. Some foods, like high-caffeine pop and energy drinks cause hyperhidrosis. Some medications cause it too, like certain antidepressants. An overactive sympathetic nervous system could be to blame as well. Whatever the cause, the condition is treatable with both non-surgical and surgical remedies.
