Anxiety Sweating

Whether anxiety leads to sweating or sweating leads to anxiety is more or less like a chicken and egg problem. While few believe that anxiety or panic attack is itself not a cause of sweating, but is just an aggravating factor, there are others who vouch for the fact that anxiety induces hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating. The case may be debatable, but research studies state one solemn fact that excessive anxiety leads to excessive sweating. It has been found that excessive stress and anxiety triggers the brain to produce hormones, which cause sweating. One should not confuse between profuse or excessive sweating and anxiety sweating altogether. While anxiety sweating can become cyclic, the other forms of sweating have no such tendency. For instance, an already anxious person gets instigated to become far more anxious once he begins to sweat. This leads to further anxiety and further sweat, thus becoming a continuous cycle. Besides causing damage to a person’s morale, confidence level and psyche, anxiety sweating can lead to fatigue, dizziness, short breath, and irritability as well as memory problems. So, how do you exactly go on to treat it? Studies have shown that proper treatment, balanced medication coupled with cognitive-behavioral therapy helps to cure anxiety sweating and panic disorders that lead to it. Read on to know more.
