I have had severe sweating for about 3 years now.  I start to perspire with the slightest physical exertion. Just washing the dishes brings it on. I'll be dripping wet in just 1 minute.  Sweat just comes off my brow and drips everywhere.  It burns my eyes.  My hair and clothes are always wet, soaking wet!  It is really debilitating, not too mention embarassing.  It is affecting my usual activities and stopping me from going out. I have always been prone to nausea once or twice a week but just lately I started getting very nauseus several times a day.  When I have to keep moving (like when I am cooking or gardening) A am soaking wet and nauseated all day long.  I have also have to change several times a day and even so you will find me soaking wet most of the day.  At night these episodes come on even without exherting myself at all.  When waking up, as I do several times at night my sheets, pillow, clothes are usually drenched with sweat. It's not like usual perspiration, but as if several faucets were turned on inside me! This is troubling me!  I don't want to be this way.  I am 57 and have always been active. 10 years ago I thought I breezed through menapause.  So except for hip and knee replacements and a finicky stomach, I have always been in good health. Thank you everyone for sharing, it has helpe a lot. It is a relief to know that these symptoms may be caused by acid reflux and that meds may help.   I will go out and buy some Prvacid, immediately start taking it and hope for the best.  If not then your info will still help me get a better diagnosis from the VA doctor (I almost never see the same one). Thanks again and feel better soon.
