Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating incapacitating hands, armpits, feet, face and abnormal facial flushing where the processor or thermostat is in the center of the brain (thalamus-hypothalamus axis) is out of control.

Said center abnormally active sympathetic nervous sweat through intense crisis, which consist of activation of excessive runoff sweat, the degree of condition the person stay wet most of the day. The crisis in intense cases "fire" spontaneously, in other cases it requires minimal emotional stimuli.

Excessive sweating against strong emotions

In normal life, it is understood that someone sweat heat and exercise but can not accept that emotion is a stimulus (not cause) of sweat.

In reality, people excessively sweaty because the regulator or sympathetic nervous center has lost control and is activated sometimes just out of nowhere and when the person has a minimal stimulus of exercise, heat and worst of all, an emotion, then a serious crisis that may wet the person is triggered.

Usually there is no consensus of normalcy to sweat, because their presentation is multifactorial and can not quantify but in most cases must be absent.

However, the person suffering from excessive sweating may have the idea that this happens because you're nervous, but this is totally false.

Some symptoms of hyperhidrosis

Patients with uncontrollable excessive sweating hate the heat for reasons already explained, but curiously always have cold and wet feet, indicating a reflection closure of movement in the more distal parts of the body are the fingers and feet.

At the time of the crisis the peripheral circulation (fingers and toes) closes and the body's blood concentrates specifically on the trunk, so that patients feel a special warmth or "embarrassment" that initiates belly, stomach, chest, neck to head and that's when they get "red" in the face of what is known as Facial Blushing Abnormal (Blushing).

Accompanying symptoms of hyperhidrosis are: headache migraine tensional, or in other words pulsatile headache type, hand tremors can be thin or thick, noticeable palpitation people sometimes so intense that prevent sleep. Other cases may develop high blood pressure in the form of crisis or as an established diagnosis and prescription of drugs for the purpose.
