Hello,

* The excess sweating in palms and feet can be related to dysfunction of autonomic system with release of catecholamines or other mediators.

Underlying stress and anxiety do play a very major role in this issue.

* Certain times, there is requirement of dose adjustment of the medicines of blood pressure and cholesterol control as well.

My guidelines at present for him

- continue current medications
- deep breathing exercises and YOGA
- walking in fresh air
- balanced nutritious diet
- avoid stress and anxiety
- have an uninterrupted sound sleep of 7 hours
- avoid caffeine, alcohol, tobacco if consuming.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
