So do I have hyperhidrosis or something else?

So basically when I get nervous or anxious sometimes my whole face starts to feel really hot (sometimes my whole body even) and I'll sweat from no specific area. Though it's usually the face, sometimes it's my feet, palms, legs, back, neck; doesn't matter where, but it happens.

However it only happens during a certain state of mind and sometimes I'm just fine.. usually when I'm in warmer/hot environments I get more anxious and sweat even more.

T.T it's terrible! Do I have hyperhidrosis or should I start looking elsewhere? I've noticed if I'm high I can't really experience a sweating episode... so I think it's all mental perhaps? Agh it's so frustrating >.<

Hyperhidrosis is categorised as excessive sweating no matter what the climate or circumstance...it sounds to me like you sweat only as a result of anxiety, which isn't hyperhidrosis, no.

Think yourself lucky! :)

Mine's only when I'm anxious too. I've started using Odaban (thanks to a rec from this board!) and it's a great help so far, so I'd try that if I were you :)

Thanks.. well, I don't really consider myself that lucky. I still get episodes randomly, but I've noticed it's just especially noticeable when I'm anxious.. I dunno >.<
