What is the reason for excessive sweating on the chest

The chest is a part of the body that is more prone to sweating, and excessive sweating in these areas may be a manifestation of some health conditions. Frequent sweating, restless sleep, and irritability may be caused by qi deficiency.

One is excessive sweating on the head. If you sweat excessively on the head and face, and at the same time feel heavy and weak limbs, bloating in the upper abdomen, thirst, etc., it is mostly due to food accumulation. It can be relieved by reducing the amount of food intake, eating a light diet, or taking some digestive medicine. It is normal for children to have slight sweat on their heads while sleeping, but if accompanied by restless sleep, irritability, easy fright, thinning hair, etc., timely diagnosis and treatment is required. In addition, the elderly and women who are weak after childbirth may also experience excessive sweating on their heads, which is mostly due to qi deficiency.

The second is sweating in the palms. If excessive sweating in the palms and soles is accompanied by hot palms and soles, dry mouth and throat, etc., it is mostly due to yin deficiency and heat; if excessive sweating in the palms and soles is accompanied by abdominal distension and pain, and constipation, it is mostly a heat syndrome with fecal accumulation in the intestines, and you can take laxatives; if excessive sweating in the palms and soles is accompanied by dry mouth, swollen and painful gums, etc., it is mostly due to stomach heat, and you can take traditional Chinese medicine to clear stomach heat, such as Niuhuang Qingwei Pills, Qingwei Huanglian Pills, etc.

Excessive sweating in the three pits of the stomach and chest is more common in some people who do mental work. These people are often accompanied by mental fatigue, loss of appetite, poor sleep, and frequent dreams. This is due to excessive thinking, which leads to weak heart and spleen. Appropriate exercise, such as jogging, Tai Chi, Ba Duan Jin, etc., can relieve stress and adjust the mood.

4. In addition, if you experience excessive sweating, thirst, dizziness, chest tightness, nausea, palpitations, weakness in the limbs, tinnitus, inattention, and fever in a hot and humid environment in summer, these are generally signs of heatstroke. You should move to a cool and ventilated place in time and drink some light salt water. You will return to normal in a short time. If the symptoms cannot be recovered or are severe, seek medical attention immediately.
