Hey Ramona!
Welcome to the club! I in particular feel a little better seeing that I am not the only one whose heavy sweating is heavily influenced by emotions. Although I am not anxious, I understand what it's like to have your overactive sweat glands freak out as soon as something gets your heart beat faster. That's SO not fun. π

Sean M. started the topic Do you know anyone else with hyperhidrosis in RL? in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years, 10 months ago
The newest blog post on this website just got me thinking. If about 3% of the people have hyperhidrosis, that would statistically mean that out of 100 people I know, 2 more should have excessive sweating of some kind. Huh, naturally, I don't keep in touch with 100 people on regular basis – and I'm not gonna go and ask near-strangers if they sweat…[Read more]

I read your story and wonder if your causes of excessive sweating are partly psychological. Please donβt take offense, but maybe it only seems to you that your excitement is normal. Maybe you actually tend to get overexcited when talking to other people.
How do you normally feel around people? Does excessive underarm sweating happen to you e…

Sean M. replied to the topic Why is sweating being so condemned in our society? in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years, 10 months ago
Regarding sweating and modern society – this is a complicated question. Part of the blame definitely lies with antiperspirants. Do not get this wrong – I am happy that they exist. However, it is probably thanks to them that everyone now believes sweat should be nearly extinct.
Think about it. Most people don't have problems with excessive…[Read more]

Your first advice is good, but not always possible, because I start sweating profusely in the stupidest of situations. For example, often when I talk on the cell phone and walk. The more and louder I talk, the more excited I get and my underarm sweating gets so bad that I must take a shower and change the shirt afterwards. I even happens when I…[Read more]

Twinkle replied to the topic Ideal Diet for Hyperhidrosis in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years, 10 months ago
I have a special policy for spring and summer, since I sweat a lot in warm weather and it only gets worse right after I eat.
I stopped eating sandwiches or big restaurant meals during my lunch breaks. The restaurant near my company's building also sells smoothies, shakes, fresh orange juice, and so on. I buy 1-2 of these and that gets me through…[Read more] -

I tend to sweat too much: mostly feet and underarms, moderately palms. I learned to accept profuse sweating in warm weather, during physical activities and in stressful situations, but one thing still frustrates me to no end.
My emotions trigger heavy sweating even when I'm happy! More accurately, when I'm excited. I hate this because it makes me…[Read more]
