Missy Mehefin asked:
my mum just accepted a job through the company that she works for in LA. I was just wondering if anyone had any tips to adjust from such cold weather in Britain to the heat of LA without constantly sweating like a pig! – sorry for the expression but its the only thing i could think of to get across what i was trying to say.

I have frequent headaches, mild nausea that’s constant, and constant sweating interspersed with periods of having chills (not sure if I have a fever or not).
Anyone have any suggestions as to what this could be?
loveline asked:
I can see that lots of my hair fall after shampooing. My hair is fine. It is humid and hot in my country. As much as I want to shampoo my hair everyday due to constant sweating and trapped oil in my scalp, I am a bit worried that it will only increase the falling of my fine hair. Does shampooing of hair on a daily basis increase falling hair? What type of shampoo should I avoid to reduce this problem?
Alisha Y asked: For quite some time now my husbands has had night sweats. (the last few years) Lately (last couple of weeks) its been happening every night and i’m talking drenched with sweat. He’s not having nightmares and it’s not too hot. He’s not sick and there is no other symptoms other than he talks in his sleep a lot but i’m not sure if that means anything because he’s been doing that since he was little.
What do you think could be the cause?
He is also a smoker….just started in late 2007
Mia asked:
Unfortunately, I seem to sweat alot. At school my shirt under my jumper is wet under my armpits within about 20 minutes. So I remove my jumper incase it’s the heat, but I just carry on sweating. Also, my back gets quite sweaty leaving wet patches if I lean on my back to much when sat on a chair with a back. Some people are beginning to notice. However, I don’t smell, which is good, it’s just this constant sweating that won’t stop no matter what I try. I’m not having botox! I’m only 16! Don’t want it, ever, so don’t suggest that please (: Thanks. No nasty comments please, it upsets me alot. I don’t wanna be constatly worrying about keeping my arms down!!! And my top lip also sweats alot, well above my lip. x
psycolope asked:
Whenever i go out somewhere (school, movies, anywhere besides a house) my armpits get really sweaty. I wear plenty of deodorant so it doesn’t smell nasty or anything, but it’s a burden trying to hide it and it puts a lot of restrictions on my life. I’d really appreciate a solution to this as i’m really tired of this constant perspiration. Also, I’m 14 so it is that puberty stage if that makes a difference.
Sweating is a natural phenomenon that occurs in every single human being but when it becomes excessive, it is seen a problem that requires urgent attention. If you, or someone you know, suffers from constant sweating, then I am sure you understand the level of embarrassment and the anxiety that comes with it in the everyday lives of those who share similar problem. The general consensus amongst doctors is that, constant sweating is linked to overactivity of the sympathetic nervous system; specifically, the Thoracic Sympathetic Ganglion Chain, which runs along the vertebra of the spine inside the chest cavity. Furthermore, doctors have concluded that the problem is usually a result of some genetic disorder. Which means, if your family has a history of excessive sweating then, you as an individual have a high chance of having similar issue.
Constant sweating usually occurs in teenagers and older people. When people sweat excessively, it usually occurs in their palms, face, feet, armpit and a host of other places. In teenagers, as they reach puberty and become aware of the changes in their body and their environment, they usually become nervous and agitated which leads to excessive sweating. On the other hand, older people (especially women going through the menopause) get nervous and sweaty when there are changes in their environment that sometimes were unexpected. Whatever the case may be for you, I’m sure you want a cure that will work as fast as possible. If you have tried several products or techniques that have failed you, there’s no need to give up hope just yet because, more often than not, solutions come just after we decide to push harder one extra time.
Without further ado, excessive sweating can be cured by surgical means. This is a medical procedure that is only performed by experts in the field and care should be taken before deciding to approach it as a solution. This is because complications may occur if care is not taken. It is also an expensive procedure when compared to some, if not all, of the other alternative treatments to be mentioned in the next few paragraphs. In short, patients are often advised to resort to surgical means only if they have tried the alternative treatments but all to no avail. Some of the best known alternative treatments for constant sweating are: Local Lotion – Drysol, BOTOX, Oral Anti Hyperhidrosis Medications, Electronic Devices, Percutaneus (through the skin) or x-ray guided techniques, Accupuncture and Biofeedbac. All these have been proven to be medically safe and highly effective.
