Question : Dear Doctor,

I recently started exercising and I observe that I sweat profusely even after 10 min in to workout. I am over weight and working towards reducing weight for which I am already consulting dietitian.

Please help me understand why is it happening? Or am I showing symptoms of future problem?

Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,

Thank you for posting your query on HCM.

Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that since you are obese and you lack stamina your body is not yet adjusted to doing exercise, that can be the reason for sweating and decreased endurance also .

Plus still if you feel get your thyroid levels checked , complete lipid profile and get a 2D ECHO done to rule out any other pathology .

Take care.
