What Causes Sudden Attack Of Sweating?

I don t see the answer to causes for sudden attack of sweating. I know this is often a precursor to an MI. Just went to check on my mom at assisted living, who had a 30 min. sudden sweating episode, with no other symptoms. Blood sugar and BP were normal. Nurse gave a Klonopin, and she seems fine now. She was just sitting watching TV when this happened. Hyperthyroidism is controlled with PTU. She has large hernia at junction of esophagus and stomach. She had just eaten crackers with peanut butter and said she got indigestion. Will call MD in a.m., but does this need attention now?

HI
Well come to HCM
Sudden sweating without any other specific symptoms may be due to anxiety and depression as you stated that her test are negative then the sweating could be due to the depression only and this is nothing to worry, hope this information helps.
