Someone told me that b/c I eat a lot of salt, I should sweat a lot when I get hot. I've never heard that before. Has anybody else?

I haven't found that eating alot of salt creates more sweat but you lose more salt through sweat. Leaving some links for you to read up on the subject...\n\nWhen the water in the sweat evaporates, it leaves the salts (sodium, chloride and potassium) behind on your skin, which is why your skin tastes salty. The loss of excessive amounts of salt and water from your body can quickly dehydrate you, which can lead to circulatory problems, kidney failure and heat stroke.

Maybe worrying about it is what's making you sweat.\nI get nervous when I eat pinapple... I dont know why, and my friend gets high from breakfast sausages lol!

haha i'm taking pathophysiology this semester...\n\nwhat you are getting is called oedema.  it is when excess fluid in the tissue of your distal periphery.  it can be caused by a few things...\n\nthere are things called electrolyte, which include sodium, potassium, chloride, etc, which you take into your body when you eat.  these are essential for normal electrical responses in the body.  anyhow.  these need water to travel around, and need water to be expelled from the body.  these slow your kidney down and stop a hormone called renin from being excreted from the kidneys.  renin is a osmotic drug; it helps the veins suck moisture out of the cellular tissue back into the vascular system, eventually to be excreted via urine.  anyhow.  there's your path lecture for the day.\n\nincrease your fluid intake.  decrease salts/electrolytes.  and also move!  get someone to check your blood pressure.  oedema is indicated by your diastolic pressure.  if this is particularly low you might have a vascular disease, which you'll need medical attention for.\n\nalso if you have "puffiness" your reaction might be immunological.  as in your body is fighting something.  especially if it is near the skin.  get your Immunoglobulin E's checked out.\n\ngood luck.

you sweat a lot because you are fit. your body is trained to do this. sweat is good. just shower after play.

actually sweaty hands when you're nervous is a normal thing. a normal reaction of the body. but i know a guy who is suffering from this problem, and not only when he's nervous but almost all the time . his hands never quit sweating. i read something that this is a well known problem and many people have it, my advise to u, wash your hands and feet in salty water three times a day and the problem will be gone before u know it.

Thanks for making me laugh.....\n\nI wouldn't worry about it unless it happens all the time.  Did you eat something very spicy yesterday?  Or perhaps you need to get more fibre in your diet.\n\nIn any case, I think you'd make your doctor giggle with that description of your problem.

I have this same problem. I think the best way is to exercises. you have to do aerobic exercises that make your whole body sweat. And eat a lot healthier and less than what you are eating now. some of it in front can be bloating so you might want to also detoxify your body to make it go away. this is stuff they told me and so far everything has been working. I've lost about 12 pounds this year. oh and don't drink soda.

I get them A LOT, I think it's to do with my poor diet (fizzy drinks, no fruit or veg, too much salt).  They get worse when I'm run down as well.  Haven't managed to find anything that helps, just have to grin and bear it.  Oh yes, going down on my wife doesn't help, either!

A friend of mine bruised his tailbone and for some reason decided to put liquid heat on in.  As the game went on, and the sweat began to mix with the liquid heat, it slowly migrated down his butt crack.  He ran to the bench, grabbed an extra pair of socks, and tried to rub it out of his crack.  It only spread to other parts of his unmentionable region.  We could only laugh at the little dance he was doing.

It's probably the humidity level. you "seem" to sweat more when the humidity is high because water cannot evaporate into the atmosphere. when the humidity is low your sweat evaporates quickly, leading you to belive that you didn't work hard enough.

Cool! How'd you manage not to spill your bowl of water? What do you mean? Witch soda are you talking about? Witch diet or witch regular? Meerrrheeeeehhheeeee!!!

Can I ask? Do you find that this feeling happens during warmer days? The heat could be a key. If so, it might be the caffiene. As a fellow Mountain Dew lover, I find that after coffe, tea and dew all the caffiene totally messes with my system and dizziness and almost a "numbing" effect in my stomach and body seems to take over. My doctor told me to limit my caffiene intake to one cup. I now drink decaffinated tea in the summer and much more water. I cut the dew in the spring and summer too and switch to gatorade or something. *shrugs* Just a thought. Good luck.....hope you get better!

There is a medical condtion where people really can not sweat.  I think you would have discovered if you had this already by overheating.\n\nIf you work out and it's cold or windy, your sweat will evaporate fast and maybe make you believe you aren't sweating.\n\nOr, if you don't workout hard enough, you won't sweat.  You could get a heart rate monitor to see if you are exercising in a good "target range" appropriate for your age.\n\nAlso, in terms of weight loss, you can't measure your success in losing weight by the amount you sweat in a workout. That water just comes right back.  The secret to weight maintenance is exercising  consistently and eating a good diet.

When I was in the US NAVY aboard the USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN (aircraft carrier) the cooks accidentally spilled an industrial sized container of chili powder into the chili and served it anyway.  You know a ship full of men, no one would admit it was too hot too eat.  So we did.  Boy did we regret it later when we were sitting in the head(bathroom).

I don't even like salt, but when I have my period, I crave salt big time, I eat it right out of the bottom of the pretzel bag, and I can sure taste it.  It taste yummy.  And very salty.
