A member asked:
What is the cause of abnormal sweating, and heat at my age? i am 18 and female.

It depends: Houston is hot and humid so sweating is common. If your weight is high, it makes you work harder to carry yourself around. That can be one cause.If your weight is normal, then you should get your thyroid functions tested as over active thyroid gland(hormone production) can cause you to feel unusually hot and sweat.
