EXCESSIVE BODY SWEATING, ARMPIT SWEATING
EXCESSIVE BODY SWEATING, GENERAL CAUSES

Excessive body sweating is not always cause for alarm. Your body has about 2700 square inches of skin which is largely utilized for sweating. Sweat is part of your thermoregulatory systems. Sweating evaporates off the skin and cools your body. This is a good thing.

Excessive body sweating however can simply mean that your body is sweating beyond what is normal to provide cooling. Situations causing an emotional response like nervousness, anger, embarrassment and fear can cause body sweating.

If your excessive body sweating is accompanied by depression, anxiety, heart palpitations, dizziness or shortness of breath, you may wish to consider seeing a physician. Try to avoid spicy foods, get plenty of exercise and avoid antidepressants that can cause sweating. If you are overweight, you will want to get on a good regiment of diet and exercise.

However, if the excessive sweating is accompanied by fever, weight loss, chest discomfort, shortness of breath or heart palpitations, other causes should be considered.

If your excessive sweating is occuring in your armpits, you will want to use a strong antiperspirant such as Maxim antiperspirant. Maxim is recommended by over 1,000 dermatologists and is probably the most powerful antiperspirant which you can buy without a prescription.: "Hello, I just want to let you all know... I got Maxim in the mail on Saturday,
tried it out Sunday night, and I have been dry all day long. You just made me a very, VERY, happy man. Thank you so much."
