Excessive Sweating (wasn't sure where else to put this!)

This is driving me crazy. Just recently I started sweating, to me, what seems like all the time. I sweat when I do the dishes, I sweat when I walk up one flight of stairs.... don't even get me going on sleeping, I can't even snuggle with my husband anymore without being drenched in about a 5-10 minute time span.

Just now I was hanging up window treatments that I had washed, so I thought I'd grab the electric drill and tighten some of the screws that were loose in the wall. It took me all of 5 minutes. My hair is soaked and the sweat is running down my face and neck.

Is this normal. I hope someone else is in the same situation ... I'm only 34, I hope it's not menopausal issues.... I wouldn't think so since I don't have the other extreme of just being freezing at any given moment.

Any thoughts?

    You might want to ask your Doctor about this - because while it may be nothing serious, there is a small chance that it could be a real medical issue - like you thyroid, or an infection, or diabetes. So you should probably see your Doc just to be sure.

    I totally have this problem too! Are you on any medications? I am on one that causes excessive sweating -- it is definitely a pain! Good luck at the doc; I hope everything is okay. :smile:
