Hi Dear ,

As per your query you have profuse sweating . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like heart attack , diabetic hypoglycemia , endocarditis , generalized anxiety disorder , hyperthyroidism , medication side effects, such as betablockers and antidepressants and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma . I would suggest you to consult cardiologist for proper examination and rule out more serious condition . Doctor may order complete blood profile , ECG , TMT , angiography and check vitals . Doctor may prescribe betablockers , aspirin , diurectics like frusamide and sedatives . Doctor may also refer you to endicrinologist if he/she find problem to be related with thyroidor diabetes . For now keep yourself relax , take proper rest and drink plenty of water .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
