A member asked:

Why is excess sweating a common symptom of coronary heart disease?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

XS sweating: Sweating is only a symptom of CAD when it is causing either severe chest pain or hemodynamic impairment along with the ischemia such as with acute infarction. Patients with mild angina typically don't have sweating as part of their picture.
