Why do I sweat more than others?

Sweating is a normal metabolic phenomenon. There are usually many reasons for sweating, the most common of which is that the body temperature is affected by the air temperature. Especially in the summer, when the temperature is high and you sweat frequently, regulating the body's functions is also a good way to detoxify. However, if you sweat at all times, it means that your body is different from other people and if there is a problem, you need to check and confirm it in time. Why do I sweat more than others?

(1) Sweating itself is a way to regulate body temperature and dissipate heat. For example, sweating after work, exercise, emotional excitement, and tension is normal. Therefore, sweating is a very normal phenomenon. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that sweating has its reasons. For example, there are relevant records in the "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic". There are individual differences between people. For example, fatter people will sweat more, and thinner people will sweat less. This is all within the normal range. Sweating must be divided into physiological sweating and pathological sweating. The cause of pathological sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, can be generally summarized as a manifestation of central nervous system dysfunction.

(2) Medicine has classification regulations for sweating, including spontaneous sweating, night sweating, head sweating, half body sweating, palm and sole sweating, etc. The most common are spontaneous sweating and night sweating. Spontaneous sweating is unprovoked and involuntary sweating, which usually occurs during the day when it is not hot and there is no exercise.

(3) Night sweats are medically considered to be sweating during sleep at night, which stops when you wake up. Of course, there are many other sweating conditions that are also classified. Some spontaneous sweating and night sweats are pathological in medicine and are combined with certain diseases. Sometimes it is related to central nervous system disorders in the body. Spontaneous sweating is related to many diseases, such as some high fever diseases such as fever, pneumonia, rheumatic fever and other diseases. There are also some other causes of endocrine disorders, such as menopausal syndrome, and some metabolic diseases such as hyperthyroidism. There are also some common disease conditions such as the hypoglycemia state of diabetes or the pain and hypoxia state of coronary heart disease. There are also other causes of sweating due to drugs, such as taking aspirin, so there are still many reasons for spontaneous sweating.
