Hyperhidrosis: Hyperhidrosis is the condition characterized by abnormally increased sweating/perspiration. The cause of primary hyperhidrosis is unknown, although some physicians claim it is caused by sympathetic over-activity. Stress has also been a possible cause. There are medications that can help. Best wishes.
