Yes and may be : Yes it could be explained by the hyperactivity of the sympathetic system , that what caused the hyper- hidrosis. And yes when it is localized like your case in the palm of the hand, they can try to block the sympathetic nerve temporarily to the area, and if that works they can block it permanently . Of course every action has a reaction , that will come with side effect.No there is no cure.

Don't Sweat It, Dude: For you the answer is complicated.Isolated areas of sweating are pretty easy to deal with,but as widespread as yours,you'll need a specialist to sort out the physical and possible psychological issues.Don't focus on"cure"so much as "management."Check https://www.aad.org/ (American Academy of Dermatology) for some info and a referral.For a quick summary: http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Hyperhidrosis
