What Causes Excessive Sweating And Dizziness?

My daughter is 5yrs old and sweats a lot. She s been this way since birth. She seems to overheat really easy. Today she was playing outside at school and started to pass out because she was hot. She is also very hairy all over her body. Could this be a thyroid problem or is do she just over heat easly?

Hi..this could be a thyroid problem. But at the same time, there is one more entity called hyperhidrosis in which only excessive sweating is the problem as here. I suggest you see an endocrinologist and get her evaluated further.
