What causes hyperhidrosis?


Stop Sweating and Start Living - Mike Ramsey
Though we in our ignorance often loosely use the term sweat problem for a lot of people who display the symptoms described above they may actually be suffering from hyperhidrosis which is a serious medical condition and which requires proper diagnosis and treatment.
Under ordinary conditions the hypothalamus which is the part of the brain that regulates sweat-related functions sends sensory signals to the sweat nerves. These nerves -- part of the sympathetic nervous located in the chest cavity -- in turn send the signals to the sweat glands causing the latter to produce sweat. As a result of hyperhidrosis the sweat glands disobey these signals as it were and produce substantial volumes of sweat that then seek outlets on your underarms face  palms and feet.
