I have diabetes and coronary atherosclerosis,i'm almost 55. why do i constantly feel like i'm sweating profusely,it lasts anywhere from1-5minutes,then it goes away . what causes that?

Symptoms: With your diabetes related symptoms you need a lot of care. 1: You should see a diabetes educator. 2: You need to see a Neurologist 3: You need to see a cardiologist. 4: You need to see your primary doctor. I presume you are seeing all or most of these. If you are not getting the help you need try and find a different physician for the several issues.

Many options : The sweats could be from many causes including perimenopause or cardiac related. If you're not already, you should start a very mild but consistent daily exercise program. Stop if your symptoms get worse, but you may be having the symptoms if you're very out of shape
