Before I started working out I could stand in the sun for hours like :takedat:

But since I got my weight up I sweat even when it isn't hot. We going to the club tonight and I already know I'm gonna be drenched :to:. We were in the gym Thursday and I was sweating after the first set, it's really getting out of hand. I thought it would eventually go away, but it's been going strong since last summer.

The shyt is pretty embarassing.

Summer of 2010 it just kinda came out of nowhere and never stopped. That coincides with the time I really started to take working out seriously and gained some weight. Diet has actually improved since then and I'm pretty stress-free. I looked up hyperhidrosis and that sounds like me but how could I just develop some shyt like that out the blue?

yeah, doctors aren't really sure what causes it exactly. there are different plausible causes and different types.

that's also why i asked how old you were. usually it starts in your mid to late teens. some say it's genetic. they say that what happens is that your nervous system just happens to be too sensitive to stressors for some reason. this triggers what they call a "fight or flight" response from your nervous system and the sweat is some sort of defense mechanism.

some doctors have also said it could be accentuated or caused by high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, thyroid gland problem, etc. if i was you i'd get checked out first to get a proper diagnosis, second to rule out the thyroid gland reason if you really have hyperhidrosis. there are some treatments but no real cure. treatments go from medication to special creams/lotions to botox to even surgery. it really depends on what type of hyperhidrosis you're dealing with.

things that could help:

try to reduce blood pressure
try to reduce body-fat
meditation, breathing techniques, relaxation
try to reduce spicy food and avoid caffeine
lower sugar
drink sage tea


and go see a doctor about it. it's usually not life threatening (unless it's a symptom of something else) so it's not like you're gonna die or anything. it's just a pain in the ass sometimes.

since yours started way later than usual, maybe it's not hyperhidrosis (although usually in the beginning it's a lot milder). in any case, take everything i say with a grain of salt and your best bet is to go see a doctor.

I really don't sweat much in the gym, kind of odd to be honest.


This. I don't sweat at ALL. like EVER.


You know how people get that like bead of sweat trickling down wherever. I felt that sensation ONCE in my life and damn near tripped balls cause I was like "What the fukk was that?!?"
