A member asked:
My dad recently experienced chest sweats while sleeping at night, what causes this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Autonomic: The autonomic (automatic)nervous system is controlled by the lower brain and is responsible for sweating. The commonest cause of its overactivity is bad diet, particularly sugar. Its fancy name is dysautonomia, extremely common in U.S. And usually related to empty calories i.E food with insufficient vitamins.
