Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Excess Body Sweating In An Elderly Person?
I am 71 years old ... in quite good health ... no meds. Lately I perspire profusely, especially my head and face, whenever I am in the sun and do the slightest activity. It s not after I ve been the sun for awhile ... it s immediate. My head all wet, perspiration running down my face and neck. Is something amiss?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, actually this could be normal one but still I would advise you to get done some endocrine test just for safe side, second sinusitis could be the reason, take care for hydration and avoid going in sun, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
