We all sweat, but excessive sweating could be a sign that something is wrong with our body
Heavy sweating is also called hyperhidrosis and can be so pronounced that it interferes with daily life and causes discomfort. And excessive sweating can be a symptom of heart problems, anxiety, diabetes and many other diseases.
Elevated sugar level
One of the symptoms of diabetes, high blood sugar, can be extreme sweating and sticky skin on the neck. Sweating occurs especially at night. In addition, some of the symptoms of diabetes are tremors, hunger and rapid heartbeat.
Thyroid problems
Constant sweating can be a sign of an overactive thyroid or hyperthyroidism. When the thyroid produces too much hormone, it can cause constant sweating, as it stimulates the sweat glands. Other symptoms include weight loss and palpitations.
