Hello
Thanks for your query.
For your hair fall you can use topical minoxidil 10 % lotion which will get by a prescription. You would also need to take vitamin Biotin supplements daily.

The sweating is not related to hairfall .
You would need to rule out thyroid disease and also apply a lotion called ALLDRY which contains products to reduce sweating .you will get it as a prescription drug.
Please do rule out thyroid problem and anemia by a blood work up.

Thanks
