How much is too much?
We all get a bit hot and sweaty from time to time (if you’re wondering why you get night sweats, here are some possible causes.) But excessive sweating is a medical condition known as hyperhidrosis (or primary hyperhidrosis), and it can be extremely isolating and distressing. “There is secondary hyperhidrosis, which is excessive sweating that’s a symptom of another medical condition or a side effect of a medication,” explains Angela Ballard, RN, communications director, educator and advocate with the International Hyperhidrosis Society. “However, when we talk about hyperhidrosis, we are talking about the stand-alone condition or primary hyperhidrosis.”
Hyperhidrosis is also more common than you might think. A 2016 article published in the journal Archives of Dermatological Research estimates the prevalence of hyperhidrosis at 4.8 percent, which represents approximately 15.3 million people in the United States.
If you’re sweating how much you sweat, here are the signs of hyperhidrosis.
