Brief answer :
Could be related to heart, do echocardiography.
Detailed answer :
Hi, welcome to HCM.
Sweating in conditions could be due to hyperthyroidism or could be related to heart.
In my opinion, you should do thyroid levels and echocardiography to rule out heart disease.
I hope this has helped you. Take care.
