Specializes in General Practice

Hyperhidrosis: Excessive sweating is a common condition. It can represent some common illnesses but it is easily treated usually. Your physician will want to do some testing to determine if a treatable illness is causing this symptom or if you just need treatment to lower your sweating.

Yesterday I was well hydrated, felt hot, had to rest to cool down a few times. Noticed I wasn't sweating. Dry armpits. This went on for hours. At the end I felt nausea. So I went to a cooler place. Today I feel fine, can sweat. Was it a heat stroke?
