Why do i sweat profusely even if i am sitting down?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many causes: If you find that your palms, arm pits, feet, or face sweat quite profusely rather spontaneously and continuously, you may have a condition called hyperhydrosis. This is a condition that will cause people to sweat rather profusely and can be quite socially disabling. To know for sure, you would be best served by seeing your primary care physician to know for sure.
