My palms and feet doesn't sweat :
- while i sleep
- as the night approaches
- after long physical activity
- if i'm on holiday and i can afford not to do anything stressful, (for ex. just lying in bed, reading)
Palmar and plantar hyperhidrosis appear at:
- the thought(yes, even the thought) of physical activity
- if i have to hurry
- the thought and the real process of physical or mental/ intellectual work
- fear response
So i think in my case it's related to stress hypersensitivity and stress intolerance. However, my armpits used to sweat a lot, but that mostly subsided.
Treatment history:
-Xanax - didn't help with this problem, also i didn't feel any effect (at dose of 75 mg)
- sage tea - nope, didn't work
- Sertraline SSRI - nope
- Gabapentin - nope
So nothing worked. I'm planning on measuring my cortisol levels, see if it correlates with my HH. If it is, then it's stress-induced.
It's very embarassing for me, i had it since i was a little child, but as i grew older, i noticed other problems, which can or cannot be related to this, but it is a vicious circle. Most notably i fear that my memory and cognitive problems are due to the long periods of cortisol exposure, which can harm the brain. I'm 25/M.
I'm 25/M.
