Hello,
I think you may need to check your thyroid hormone levels T3, T4 and TSH because hyperthyroidism may be a cause of excessive sweating. Also do a total blood count with formula and biochemical blood balance.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing you all the best.
