What Could Cause Excess Of Sweating ?

Hi doc,
I've been sweating excessively (on the sides and back of my head) when I sleep at night, so much so that i wake up with my pillow soaked (a large, very damp patch) every morning.

I do not remember dreams/nightmares and I do not wake up in the middle of the night.

I'm a 26 y.o male.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Sweating is a body mechanish with which body temperature is regulated according to the outside temperature. Body temperature is maintained at a particular level throughout. Sweat also remove toxins from our body.

Exessive sweating or hyperhidrosis could be due to infection, diabetis or thyroid problems. Anxiety or apprehension is another cause. Excess sweating is also possible on hot weather.

Ask yourself. Is the weather hot? Am I anxious? If the answer to these questions are NO, then consult a physician for further diagnosis and treatment.

Hope this answers your query. Availble for further clarifications.
Good luck.
