What Causes Frequent Sweating As Noticed On Forehead?
MY fathers age is 57 and he is 5. 9 feet roughly with 80 kgs of weight.. he is a diabetic and has thyroid and high B.P. For past 2 - 3 days he has been sweating on the forehead pretty quickly. Is there any concern related to the heart? also can u suggest a very good diabetes specialist in Lucknow to consult with. Thank you

Hi welcome to HCM.
Forehead sweating cab be due to uncontrolled diabetes ,this could be as a result of long standing changes prompting diabetic autonomic dysfunction.I strongly recommend you to get tested for fasting and post prandial blood glucose monitoring.Estimation of Hb1ac can give to avg blood glucose value over preceeding 3 months.Treatment with insulin can help to restore normal blood glucose values.Consult a diabetologist at Apollo hosp -Lucknow for further queries.
