Excessive sweating and etc.?!


Question:

Excessive sweating and etc.?

I am a 26 year old female. Before I turned 21, I never perspired. Be it on a hot summer day, in a sauna, at the gym, or (hell, I'll say it) even during sexual intercourse my heart rate would go up and I would feel hot but not even a single drop of sweat would appear anywhere on my body (so I never needed deodorants and, yes, all of my girlfriends were jealous). There was never any sign of dehydration so I just figured that I was very resistant to hot temperature and that my body was remarkably self-regulating.

Then came college, and with it, multitude of stresses, heavy partying, caffeine overloads, less than nutritious meals, shortened and irregular sleeping hours, a slight weight loss, bouts of depression, and seven more armpit hairs (making a total of 10 on each side).

I get easily fatigued. I feel perpetually dehydrated and, overall, a bit confused. My blood test always come back negative and I go in for a pap smear twice a year. Doctors keep prescribing anti-depressants, a different brand after another, telling me it's stress-related. Recently, I started exp

Answers:

I'm wandering it might due to a lot of stress in the college that has caused you automatic malfunction so you're easy to sweat and sweat a lot...so if you wanted to reduce the sweating you'd need to see your psychiatrist for anti-anxiety medicines...plus you'd need to adjust your schedule to reduce excessive activities and unhealthy diet....plus get used to sleep early and get up early....and tell yourself this is all about ANXIETY....so you need to identify which events or persons caused you anxious in the past so you can face it to reduce the anxiety...
