Dysautonomia: This means that your autonomic (automatic) nervous system is compromised. The sweating comes from overactivity of the sympathetic branch of this system. If this is new for you the commonest cause is diet from empty calories, particularly sugar and sweeteners. It upsets brain chemistry.
