Question : I am 37 years old. I don't usually sweat at all, however since a recent XXXXXXX trip where I suffered what I think was heat exhaustion. 4 weeks on I am sweating at times even when it's not hot. I have been to docs and my liver is borderline to which I have to back for more tests. Do you think this is connected?. I'm also sneezing randomly? Other than that I feel fine? Why is this all happening now?

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,

Thank you for posting your query on HCM.

Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that it will be difficult to say at the moment if these two things are connected . Let all the tests be available then we can see because any kind of viral illness can lead to both of these . I think you should get your TSH levels checked because hyperthyroidism can also give such symptoms .

Rest in my opinion I dont think there is much to worry about.

Take care.
