A member asked:

Why do i perspire whenever i eat? i don't sweat a lot but i feel it on my, face? it's so weird. .....thyroid normal i do have pots

More testing: Perspiring when you eat can simply be caused by spicy foods or eating too quickly. Excessive sweating may occur in patients with pots. A more important question to ask your doctor is why you have pots and 1st degree av block which can sometimes signify and underlying disease process.
