among other things hypoglycemia.......(low blood sugar, from not eating enough , exercise too much , too much ensulin)......\n\nfrom links below--\nOther Causes of Hypoglycemia\n\nHypoglycemia in people who do not have diabetes is far less common than once believed. However, it can occur in some people under certain conditions such as early pregnancy, prolonged fasting, and long periods of strenuous exercise. People on beta blocker medications who exercise are at higher risk of hypoglycemia, and aspirin can induce hypoglycemia in some children. Drinking alcohol can cause blood sugar to drop in some sensitive individuals, and hypoglycemia has been well documented in chronic alcoholics and binge drinkers. Eating unripe ackee fruit from Jamaica is a rare cause of low blood sugar.\n\nSymptoms of mild low blood sugar usually develop when blood sugar falls below 60 to 65 mg/dL and may include:\n\nNausea. \nExtreme hunger. \nFeeling nervous or jittery. \nCold, clammy, wet skin; excessive sweating not caused by exercise. \nA rapid heartbeat (tachycardia). \nNumbness or tingling of the fingertips or lips. \nTrembling. \n\n\nFasting low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). This type occurs when you have not eaten for many hours, such as overnight. It is frequently associated with having too much insulin in the blood, some medications, alcohol use, hereditary problems with the metabolizing of carbohydrates, and other health conditions. \nNonfasting low blood sugar (also called reactive or postprandial hypoglycemia). This type develops within 3 to 4 hours after eating. It can be caused by hereditary enzyme deficiencies such as galactosemia or by surgery to remove all or part of the stomach. Sometimes the cause is unknown. Nonfasting hypoglycemia within 1 to 2 hours after a meal (alimentary hypoglycemia) can occur if stomach contents empty into the intestines too rapidly.

Your sweating may have various causes.  If you have a blood sugar imbalance (low blood sugar - hypoglycemia; high blood sugar diabetes), this may be a cause.  If all other suggestions - including seeing a doctor for hyperhidrosis - don't work, ask the doctor for a fasting blood insulin test to rule out blood sugar imbalance as a cause.

I have to agree with most of the posts here...does sound like panic attacks or really bad anxiety flare ups.  Have you ever checked your blood pressure while this happens?  Also, do you palms begin to perspire?  Do you have any feelings like you are doomed and maybe going to die when this happens?  These are typical questions asked regarding panic attacks.  Also, does this happen after doing anything in particular, like exerting yourself in some way?  Or does it perhaps happen when you've ate something particularly sweet, and if so have you ever had your blood sugar level checked?  There are several reasons this could be happening to you, so I would recommend getting a medical check-up and go from there...good luck.

its a posibillity you have hyperhidrosis, its a disease when people sweat a lot more than usual, sometimes it has odor sometimes it doesnt but it usually affects the palms of the hands, the face, back and pits, the treatment i believe is a simple laser surgery.

Talk to your doctor- there are diseases that manifest this way (Parkinsons, low blood sugar etc.)\n\nCut out caffeine.\n\nThere may not be anything you can do though- my husband's hands shake sometimes.  His mom's did too. \n\nGood luck!

It has to do with humidity.  The higher the humidity level, the more chances you have of sweating and therefore it feels like your deodorant has melted.

Maybe you have hyperhydrosis.\n\n\nHyperhidrosis The best treatment is knowledge. \nHyperhidrosis is a medical condition described as: sweating beyond what is necessary to cool the body. The most common areas affected are the hands, feet, groin, face and underarms.\n\nHyperhidrosis can have a serious impact on self-confidence, personal relationships and even career success. But today’s treatments offer hope. Innovative surgical and non-surgical approaches allow you to specifically treat the affected area painlessly and easily.\n\nThere are two types of Hyperhidrosis. \n1) Focal Hyperhidrosis or Primary Hyperhidrosis affects local areas such as the underarms, palms, feet and face. It is caused by a malfunction within the sympathetic nervous system that causes an over-stimulation of the nerve to release a chemical called acetylcholine which over-activates the eccrine gland (sweat gland) to produce more sweat.\n\n2) Generalized Hyperhidrosis or Secondary Hyperhidrosis usually affects the entire body. It is caused by other conditions such as menopause, metabolic disorders, neurological disorders, infections, etc.\n\nCheck the seriousness of your Hyperhidrosis:\n\n\nHyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale (HDSS)\nMy sweating is never noticeable and never interferes with my daily activities\nMy sweating is tolerable but sometimes \ninterferes with my daily activities\nMy sweating is barely tolerable and frequently interferes with my daily activities\nMy sweating is intolerable and always\ninterferes with my daily activities\nYour score will help your sweat specialist diagnose Hyperhidrosis.

Itchy hands are most often associated with a skin condition or rash. The commonest of these is eczema. This itching could be due to an allergy to something you have come into contact. Common allergy causing agents are household detergents or factors linked to your occupation. \n\n\nIt is very unlikely that the itching is related to your circulation. There are other conditions that give rise to itching but the itch tends to be more generalised all over the body. You will need to visit your GP so he or she can assess your hands and advise you on the likely cause and treatment. If you are worried about anything in particular, it is very important that you tell you're doctor.

i'll tell you a secret, my friend had the same problem. if you go to your doctors and tell them they can prescribe you with a special deodrant that you can use on your armpits, hands and feet thats stops you sweating altogether. im trying to think what its called!! you put it on every other night and you don't need to use deodrant anymore. its brillant stuff, it's called anhydrol forte, go to your doctor and see what they say. good luck.

My advice would be to talk with a doctor, because I sort of have the same thing except I cannot stand not having hand lotion...dry skin or sand or dried mud or talcum powder or anything else makes my skin crawl. And about going to school- I used to feel panicky when I am around groups, especially large groups of people. I now take a drug called Klonopin. It has helped my social anxiety a lot...But I have not found a cure for the dry hands thing.

Probably overactive sweat glands. Happens to me all the time. It's not a problem, just kind of embarrassing.

Its just your body's reaction to arousal (by that I mean stress or excitement) If you sweat excessively, try a product called DRICLOR, you should be able to get it in your local chemist. (you apply it the night before and it completely stops you from sweating - armpit area anyway)

This isnn't really the place to answer this. If you think it's serious get her to the docs or emergency room. \n\nHowever, my daughter does exactly the same thing. We took her to the doctors and basically they said don't worry. My daughter will stop doing it for a while and then sometimes restart. It seems to be maybe stress related but in her case it's been no great shakes. She got it about sge 11 and is now 14 and eventually you just kinda stop seeing her doing it. I'm sure the doctor gave it a name at the time, but I've forgotten it. It doesn't seem to bother her so we're cool with it, although like you it bothered us at the start.

If you sweat excessively on the face, underarms, hands and feet you could have a condition known as hyperhydrosis.  There is a surgery that pinches off a nerve in your chest that controls this activity.  The source link below talks more about the actual procedure.

You probably have what is referred to as hyperhidrosis. There are medicines, including shots and pills, available if you talk to your doctor. \n\nAn excellent research resource for this is www.webmd.com and all you have to do is type in "sweaty palms" or "hyperhidrosis" like you would do at Google.

Drugs of almost any kind, alcohol, and smoking can all cause physical tremors.\nIf you aren't taking any of these, then it could simply be that you're just 13.  A lot of things are changing in your body as it goes through puberty (which can start as early as 10 and can last until you're 17 or 18).\nThat can include pain in the joints, aches in your legs and back, twitches in the larger muscles, and shaking.\n\nYou say you're nervous.  Do you mean that you are emotionally nervous about something?  Or do you say you're nervous because your body is shaking?  In other words, which comes first?\nIf its emotional, you need to talk to an older person you trust.  Discuss what's up, what you're worried about.\n\nAnd next time you see your doctor, have him check things out to be sure you're physically okay.  Could be you need some vitamins (most teens eat nothing but junk food and that has nothing good in it to help your body deal with puberty and grow up healthy).\n\nAnd if it helps, every girl goes through anxiety and worry during their teens, and it's usually fine.
