Question:
Why do I sweat profusely after I eat?
It's not too hot in my house, everyone else is cold and I'm sweating buckets! It doesn't matter what I eat, cold or hot.
Answers:
You may have a Hyperhidrosis.
"Defining Hyperhidrosis (misspelled hyperhydrosis) - Sweating is necessary to control body temperature during times of exercise and warm/hot surroundings. Sweating is regulated by the sympathetic nervous system. In 0.6 to 1.0% of the population, this system is revved-up and works at a very high level causing sweating to occur at inappropriate times in specific areas of the body. This condition is known as hyperhidrosis."
I have similar issues when there is even the slightest change in temperature. It started off as a teenager when I ate as well. My friends would comment on it and poke fun which did not help. It has gotten worse over the years though it doesn't happen as often when eating any more.
There are some things you can get to control it though they can be unpleasant for various reasons.
My suggestion would be to monitor and document when the sweating occurs and speak with your doctor. My doctor didn't know much about it and I had to educate him. I then went to a dermatologist who knew just what was going on. I am still working to find a solution for myself as everyone is different.
Good luck and I hope this helps.
