What Causes Elevation In C K Level And Excess Sweating Post Vigorous Exercise?

Hi, I recently had my regular cholesterol screening blood tests that showed a raised CK level of about 350 (normal range 0 - 220) and have been sweating excessively (more than normal for the weather conditions) even while doing simple tasks. 24 hours before the blood tests I had done my regular vigorous exercise on the treadmill and rowing machine and had felt a little shaky afterwards. Still feeling sore leg and shoulder muscles and wondering if I should check with my GP for anything that might need investigating. I am 60 years old, 183 cm and 87 kg in normally good health but increasingly sweating excessively during light to moderate activity...

Hello dear
Understand your concern.
CK is a creatine phosphokinase enzyme.
It has a three form
CK-BB: released from brain
CK-MB:heart and skeletal muscle
CK-MM: skeletal muscle.
It is rise in muscle injury, myocardial infraction, rhabdomyolysis, myocarditis.
It may be rise after exercise and muscle contraction during collection of blood.
So I think muscle exercise before testing in your case is a cause of increased CK level.
So please repeat the test after 7- 10 days without doing exercise.

Following are the reason of excessive sweating:
1. Excessive work out
2. Hot environment
3. Thyroid abnormality
4. Infection
5. Diabetes
6. Antibiotics
7. Overweight.
Take the following advice
1. Do work out in air condition zone
2. Do not go for excessive work out
3. Just do normal brisk waking and aerobic exercise, it is good for you.
4. Clean up sweating immediately after exercise to prevent hypothermia
5. Do testing of flowing
- Blood sugar for diabetes
- Thyroid hormone profile
- Reduce weight

Hope this may help you
Wish you good health
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
