Generalized Sweating/Body Heat

tbanner523 · Posted: Fri May 09, 2008 8:07 pm Post subject: Generalized Sweating/Body Heat

Hello,

As I have said too many times, I have generalized hyperhidrosis. I am extremely sensitive to heat, and I am uncomfortably hot, even in air conditioning.

I have noticed that, while sitting, I sweat way more and I am much hotter versus when I am standing up (it is definitely a significant difference). Does this happen to anyone else? Is it a circulation thing?

Definitely! I most certainly sweat more when I am sat down. As i'm sat now at my desk my hands are playing up. When i'm stood up or walking about it is no where near as much. If i'm outside it's even less.

I cannot begin to understand why I sweat more when i'm sat down. Maybe when we're walking the air evaporates the sweat / causes a water potential gradient with the air? lol

I have a very hot body temperature as well, i'm like a radiator.

Yes, definitely...

Also when I stand in one place, for instance when I have to wait for something or if I'm just talking to someone or in a group standing face to face I sweat a lot more...

In the end though...the sweating kind of bothers me in every situation, it's not like I don't sweat excessively when I stand up...

Otherwise I'd be standing up all day, and sleep standing up Laughing

I think it definitely has something to do with the sweat evaporating if you are walking.....but also circulation

My favorite days are cloudy, and lots of wind....I sweat much less.

I have generalized hyperhidrosis. I sweat more when I sit down in a room with no fans. I always have a fan with me. It is also embarrassing to sweat profusely.

I wonder what is the back ground of this generalized hyperhidrosis.

I definitely sweat more when sitting or lying down. When I am home I get up and walk around the house trying to cool myself down.

I also feel like I have a high body temp and feel like a radiator.

I feel that I'm very sensitive to temperature. I freeze very easliy and sweat when walking to school when it's 10deg c outside. Often when I sit at the comp late nights I start to sweat alot at the tight areas, mostly the groin. When going to sleep I'm very cold at my feet. I must wear socks and it takes like 2 hours for my feet to get the same temp as the rest of my body. When nervous I often get cold hands and feet while sweating alot on my back. My back is by far my biggest problem. Bycykling too is often a problem. Since teenage when bycykling I use a light non-winter jacked and t-shirt when its -5 deg c.

I am just like most of you. I am always hot. It is very rare when I am away from home when I feel comfortable and when I do it mostly is in a very cool or cold room. When I am sitting I seem to sweat more, especially under the knees, on my butt, and hands/feet. Strangely I dont seem to have extreme sweating at all on my forehead if its hot, only when I am nervous.
