Most people get sweaty hands or feet when they are nervous about a meeting or a date or when they are exercising. But for people who suffer from hyperhidrosis, the sweat is (often) constant and overwhelming (or even unbearable).

Sweaty hands aren’t uncommon – most people get them at some point or another. But for the segment of the population who suffer from hyperhidrosis, sweaty hands are more than just an occasional nuisance.

If you’ve noticed you seemed to be sweating excessively lately, you are probably wondering why. Your excessive sweating may be a short-term problem caused by a treatable underlying condition or it could be a lifelong struggle.

For people with hyperhidrosis, the problem of sweaty feet goes way beyond the moisture most people experience when they are on a jog or are wearing heavy shoes in warm weather. For them, sweaty feet are a real problem, not just a minor inconvenience.

You’ve noticed you’ve been having an unusual amount of sweat lately – way more than what is typically normal. It happens when you’re just doing your normal day-to-day activities. It has you worried because this is a strange occurrence for you.
