Embarrasing Sweat

[LadyIvy 159]

I am not sure what to do here. Suddenly, in the past 3 weeks, I have started to have a serious sweating problem. On the days that I work (its a pretty physical job), I notice first thing in the morning up until about 5 hours after I wake up, the littlest movement makes me sweat like I am running a marathon. Yesterday when I got to work I had some work that involved repetitive squatting and standing. I started to sweat so badly someone felt bad and came over to give me help. It wasn't like a workout, it just involved movement. I realized I was sweating like crazy and my heart rate wasn't high and I wasn't even hot! I mean WTH!! This doesn't make sense. After about 5 hours, I could do the exact same activity even longer and I don't sweat at all. It just seems to be during the first part of the day. I am on BP meds, so I looked it up, and Lysinopril doesn't seem to have that side effect. I don't know what else it could be! Its REALLY embarrassing when I have to walk around work half the day with my hair almost as wet as had I jumped into a pool. Any thoughts?

how far out are you from surgery? your hormones could be adjusting and causing this. eat less carbs and more Proteins. with all the sweating make VERY sure you are drinking a lot of Water and/or gatoraid. . .you need to replenish this lose or you'll get bad headaches and feel fainty. . . i had that problem too in the beginning, but it slowed down after about a month out. . . now i freeze all the time. hehehe. . . good luck and hope it resolves itself soon. . . nothing is more irratating then sweating up a storm! I definately feel for you. . .

I am pre-surgery atm. This has only developed in the past few weeks. I am wondering if it could have to do with my bp problems? I also have never been as big in my life as I am right now. This is a recent development too. Its just very frustrating.

Hey, Ivy....I am exactly the same and I also take Lisinopril! Have you recently started taking it? I had thought it was a different med I'm on, but then again, it could have been the Lisinopril as I started them both at the same time about a year and a half ago. I also sweat a TON from my head, not much anywhere else, and yes, my hair looks soaked. This can happen just chopping veggies and preparing dinner in the kitchen! I absolutely hate it! I can't wait to have my surgery (this week) and then stop taking my meds to see if it will finally stop....ugh!

I started taking the lysinopril just a couple of weeks ago. The sweating started not too long after which is why I thought they might be related. The side effects don't list excessive sweating, but I am starting to wonder....
