Hey people but this has been a problem for me about as long as I've had HH. I'm always tired with a significant lack of energy and it doesnt seem to matter how much sleep I have. Just wondering if anyone else feels the same.

I've been wondering if the tiredness has any link with HH, probably just coincedence but you never know.

Mark I get HH on my feet, palms, and underarms. Severity comes down to how stressed I am. Social situations I've started to manage to stay a lot calmer. How ever It's holding me back from pursuing a career and being always tired doesn't help my confidence either. I'm going to try iontherphosis treatment and fingers crossed it works well enough for me to get on with life.

Good luck both of you.

Yep, I'm always tired too. Was about to see a doctor about this very issue. But I get the feeling I would be better off seeing a naturopath.

thats a good idea, I might go to a doc an see what he has to say. The tiredness could be stress related since we all stress out about our HH

Ah well Worrydoll don't worry bout it (excuse the pun) I think the forum is more about venting our frustrations and helping to support each other than it is a problem solver.

But you did make a valid point, as I wondered if having an overactive nervous system could some how be the contributing factor. Not much point speculating really as we will never know. It's just good to be able to compare your problems with others, almost gives me a sense of normality :lol:

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top

Sweating helps the body stay cool. In most cases, it is perfectly natural. People sweat more in warm temperatures, when they exercise, or in response to situations that make them nervous, angry, embarrassed, or afraid.

However, excessive sweating occurs without such triggers. Those with hyperhidrosis appear to have overactive sweat glands. The uncontrollable sweating can lead to significant discomfort, both physical and emotional.

When excessive sweating affects the hands, feet, and armpits, it's called primary or focal hyperhidrosis. Primary hyperhidrosis affects 2%-3% of the population, yet less than 40% of patients with this condition seek medical advice. In the majority of primary hyperhidrosis cases, no cause can be found. It seems to run in families.

If the sweating occurs as a result of another medical condition, it is called secondary hyperhidrosis. The sweating may be all over the body, or it may be localized to one area. Conditions that cause second hyperhidrosis include:

* acromegaly
* hyperthyroidism
* glucose control disorders
* pheochromocytoma
* carcinoid syndrome
* cancer
* tuberculosis or other infections
* menopause
* spinal cord injury
* stroke
* Parkinson’s disease
* heart or lung disease
* certain medications and substances of abuse
* anxiety conditions

thanks Alvinsduckie, I've seen that before but totally forgot about it. I don't think I've ever heard anyone say they have HH caused from any of the above health issues.
