Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your complaints and there are many causes of excessive sweating.
It could be due to thyroid disease, increased uric acid and blood sugar levels, due to central nervous system disease and sometimes it occurs without any cause.
I would recommend you to get your thyroid function tests, blood sugar levels and serum uric acid levels checked .
To control sweating you can take tablet oxybutinin 2.5 mg twice daily.
It is a prescription drug and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
I hope to have answered your query and would be happy to answer any further queries.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
