Brief Answer:
No need to worry.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have carefully gone through your query. Sweating is an involuntary action mediated by the sympathetic nervous system, a part of the autonomic nervous system. Thus excessive sweating indicates autonomic overactivity.
Going through the following should help:

The condition is poorly understood and hard to relieve. However, it is not something concerning and you need not worry about it.
