Suggest Treatment For Cold And Excessive Sweating

I have had exessive sweating since I was a kid, and still do today at 25yrs of age. For the past 5yrs on and off (mostly on) usually in the evening, I will have excessive sweating (and I mean soaking everything I m wearing) while at the same time feeling so cold my body shakes uncontrollably and I have to wrap in a few blankets. During these times my fingers will swell to the point where Its kind of painful and I can t make a closed fist. Iv talked to a doctor about my sweating and been given special roll-on anti perspirant but nothing helps. As a hairstylist it is important my hands stay dry while handling hot tools and dry hair. I m wondering if I need to have my doctor investigate more..

Hi. Roll on antiperspirants are just symptomatic treatments. One needs to find the cause. Such a generalized sweating need to be investigated. especially for cardiac, neurological and hormonal issues. Hope it answers your queries.
