What causes excessive underarm sweating and what are some treatments that are used to control or stop it?
I could sweat in a snow storm and I’m not overweight and I don’t drink anymore than the average person. I also get excessive sweating of my head at night. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and my pillow will be wet with sweat. I wonder what’s going on.
Hi
Excessive sweating is a common problem that more than 3% of the population faced with. It is not only a cause of embarrassment for the individual, excessive sweating can also create many problems with someone’s lifestyle as well.
However there are some great ways that can help you to avoid your hyperhidrosis.
Check these helpful methods to avoid hyperhidrosis:
Avoid Sugar
having high sugar level in the blood produces hyper activity and anxiety that can easily produce excessive stress, also meaning excessive sweating.
Don’t drink Alcohol
Drinking Alcohol causes the dilatation of blood vessels that result in an increase in body temperature and therefore excessive sweat.
Don’t Eat Spicy Foods:
Spicy foods have the same effects as alcohol, it makes the heart pumps more blood and so the body, to regulate itself produces sweat.
Adopt Your Clothing:
Don’t over dress, and in summer or any other hot weather don’t wear synthetic fibers. Choose breathing fabrics like cotton. This will ventilate your body and void any accumulation of sweat.
Stop That Caffeine:
Caffeine is a stimulant that increases the anxiety. It could be found in coffee and other soda drinks.
Stop Smoking:
Smoking is also a vessel dilator just like alcohol.
Learn Yoga or Meditation:
One of the most common causes for excessive sweating is stress. To avoid or reduce stress you must learn how to control it. The best way to control is by learning meditation or yoga techniques. Mastering those can make a huge difference on your life.
In addition to these tips there are also many products and solutions for excessive sweating like botox, Acupuncture and Hypnosis.
In my opinion and from my experience the problem with many of these solutions is the expensive price and the fact that many of them simply won’t work for most of the people.
There are only few recommended products that actually work and can help you to stop your excessive sweating in less than one month.

It sounds like you might have Primary Hyperhidrosis. It generally affects the hands, feet and armpits. It’s genetic, (runs in the family), and usually starts before the age of 19 - and doesn’t seem to have a specific cause.

Good luck on your research and treatment!!
It is called hyperhidrosis. It is a condition that the physicians really don’t know the true answer. Some say it is endocrine related, but no study has really answered that question. Physicians use products with Aluminum Chloride. The strongest product out there without a prescription is Mon Ray Antiperspirant. If that does not work, some have had success with Botox, but that is expensive and you have to go to the doctor. Try Mon Ray, the company says it is guaranteed to work.
