A member asked:

I sweat a lot without even doing anything. is this bad?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: It means that your autonomic (automatic) nervous system is unbalanced. I have called it "functional dysautonomia' and you can find some info on my blog entitled "oxygen the spark of life".
