Sweating a lot may not be a bad thing. If it is not accompanied by other symptoms, abnormal signs, no other diseases, and no other discomfort, there is no need to treat it as a disease.

First, to analyze the environmental temperature, humidity, air pressure. In the middle of the year, summer temperature is high and humidity is high, at this time you should sweat and get rid of some waste products, such as uric acid and urea.

Secondly, see if there is any other discomfort in sweating, if not, there is no big problem.

Third, if the sweating is caused by organic diseases, actively treat these diseases.

The main components of sweat are water and sodium chloride, also known as table salt. There is also potassium chloride, urea, uric acid, and fatty acids, all in very low amounts.

When you sweat a lot, what you lose is mainly water and sodium chloride. Therefore, most sports drinks contain sodium salt, which is to replenish the water and sodium salt lost during exercise and sweating.

If you don't replenish the water, the blood will be concentrated, which will cause dizziness, blurred vision and other symptoms. If you only replenish water and not sodium, it may cause low sodium. For example, when a lot of sweating, drinking mineral water, although it can quench the thirst and replenish fluids, but can not replenish enough sodium salt, in the long run, may cause serious low sodium.

How much you sweat varies from person to person

There are two types of sweat glands in humans, the large sweat glands and the small sweat glands. The sweat glands are mainly located in the armpits, umbilical fossa, around the anus and around the genitals. The sweat it just secretes is a white, sticky, odorless liquid, which is decomposed by bacteria to produce a special odor, and is the main cause of armpit odor or fox odor.

The sweat glands are mainly governed by sympathetic nerves, and are distributed throughout the body, with the palm and plantar, forehead, back, armpits and other places the most. Sweat glands have the function of secreting sweat, excreting waste and regulating body temperature, and the lactic acid in sweat has the function of inhibiting the growth of bacteria.

Human beings are thermostatic animals, and their body temperature is generally maintained at 36-37 degrees Celsius, which is either too high or too low for their health. The human body regulates body temperature through sweat glands. When the outside temperature is low, you basically don't feel like sweating, but you may sweat a lot in the hot summer.

There are many reasons for sweating, but the main one is that the body sweats in order to regulate its temperature when the ambient temperature rises. Therefore, sweating in summer is normal and not sweating is not normal.

People also sweat when they are excited and nervous. Excitement is generally more sweaty palms, when the sympathetic nerves are more excited; whether it is winter or summer, nervousness may also sweat, many people know this, after the sweat will also feel the cold, as the saying goes, "scared out of a cold sweat," this is the sympathetic nerves another way of excitement.

How much sweating varies from person to person, for example, sweat glands, high metabolic state (especially high basal metabolism) people, more likely to sweat; low metabolic state of the fat, on the contrary, is not easy to sweat, he ate into the things all converted into fat storage.

There are also several cases of abnormal sweating:

1, angina attack at the same time, if there is sweating, suggesting that it is due to the degree of ischemia is heavy, causing sympathetic nerve excitation. Therefore, angina with simultaneous sweating should be more vigilant.

2, sweat when severe pain. At this time with the principle of sweating during tension is the same, such as myocardial infarction, aortic coarctation, pulmonary embolism typical attack have a big sweat.

3, heart failure attacks, in addition to holding their breath, if at the same time sweating profusely, is often one of the manifestations of the disease.

4, hyperthyroidism, often sweating, irritability, panic, diarrhea, wasting. People with Cushing's disease also sweat excessively, as well as buffalo back, acne, hairiness and other phenomena.

5, weak people, a little activity will sweat, the cause is unknown, may be related to the neuromodulation reflex. There are usually also symptoms such as shortness of breath, weakness of the legs and fatigue.

6, the vegetative nervous system dysfunction of the person also often unexplained sweating. In addition, there are some what the cause can not be found excessive sweating.

The Chinese medicine believes that sweat is the liquid of the heart, which is transformed by the fluid, and is the basis for determining whether the fluid is deficient. When the fluid is insufficient, then when the sweat does not sweat. Excessive sweating is mainly due to the following reasons:

1, the lungs and Wei Qi deficiency: lungs and Wei Qi main body of the table, the lungs and Wei Qi deficiency is easy to feel Chang, easy to sweat, pale, and some are afraid of cold.

2, yangming fire: febrile diseases of people with great heat, sweat, irritability is yangming qi heat, need to be treated with Baihu Tang.

Or a little activity on the sweat, hands and feet in the absence of sweat is cool, the amount of sweat is generally not too large.

5, too much dampness and heat: just like the three ambient days, too much dampness and heat, the pores are closed, yang qi can not run normally, there will also be excessive sweating. Damp-heat heavy patients, sweat does not feel comfortable and painful, but feel that the body is always sticky.
