Hyperhidrosis (HH)

I have the exact opposite problem. I don't sweat at all. Not even in the hottest, humid weather. Means I have to really work to stay hydrated as I don't notice it like I would if I sweated.
I have the same thing---have never "worked up a sweat" in my life. I always figured it had something to do with being hypothyroid (which I am). I overheat badly--have all my life. Once, when I was a kid, on a hike at Girl Scout camp, during very hot weather, I passed right out. I told my scout leader that I didn't feel well and she observed that I was totally red all over my body but said I should keep going anyway. About a minute later, I passed right out--I'm lucky I didn't suffer severe heat stroke--which can be lethal. The other girls poured their canteens of water on me which is the correct treatment for heat stroke. I've always been very careful since. The only exercise that I tolerate well is in the water.0 -
I have HH, I'm not sure if it's genetics or due to obesity. I sweat at slightest movement, my 'hotspots' are my face and back (thank fully not the armpits) I try to cope with this by doing swimming for my exercise (can't see the sweat haha) I'm hoping that when I lose enough weight they will also go away0

I have never been diagnosed with this but I definitely perspire more than most. When I am anxious or exercise a lot I my head sweats and my hair gets wet and sweat drips off the ends of my hair. That was really embarrassing when I worked as a substitute teacher. The first couple of weeks back until I settled into a pattern was the worst. I still sweat more than the average joe. But I can just be sitting still and break out in a sweat for some unknown reason? I can definitely empathize! I do have hypothyroidism which might be an underlying cause.0
