Current Events > All of a sudden I'm sweating a lot more than normal

(+) Yeah! (+)

Like... I'm having sweaty arm pits that are starting to go through my shirt. It's hardly noticeable if you look at it but I can defiantly feel it. I also notice I'm sweating a lot more from my forehead to for some reason. I don't know if the armpit thing is because of my deodorant or what. It isn't like I'm musty or anything. I still smell good. Any reason why this would start happening? It's been a few days since it started.

What do you want people to say?

Sweating is non-specific and there are a large amount of causes. Could be caffeine intake. Could be hyperhidrosis. Could be an adrenal tumor. Could be could be could be, list goes on.

There is nothing productive that can come from a thread on CE asking for medical advice, unless you're looking for reassurance or a wrong answer. But reassurance can be dangerous if the other lay person doesn't know what is significant or not. Ask your doctor if you're concerned.

I thought it would be something very common that's why I asked. If it isn't common then I did waste everyone's time.

Even if it's very common, it's not safe to get an answer online. No one here knows you. Even someone with a medical background isn't getting a complete history and physical on you over the internet.

Someone with no background could say, "Oh yeah, I went through that! Just switch deodorants!" but it turns out there was a pheochromocytoma growing in you causing it (not saying this is the case, I'm just giving you an example).

Sure, the pheo is incredibly rare, but you're not paying a doctor to give you the most likely answer. You could have googled that. You're having them do an assessment that unspokenly, they're considering all the incredibly rare, but serious things that do need to be looked at, before coming to the conclusion "yeah, it's probably just overactive sweat glands. Try a stronger deodorant."

Get my drift? If this is an annoying, troubling, or concerning issue for you, always get it checked out. No answer online should ever be satisfactory.
