Sweat excessively from head and body even in the?

Could be anything: Sweating is the body's way of dissipating heat to avoid getting too warm. Too much sweating could be due to endocrine problems, such as hyperthyroidism or diabetes. It could be secondary to heart failure, either acute or chronic. It's best to see your doctor.
