Profuse sweating when standing

by Wilshiregal, Aug 20, 2008 12:36AM
I sweat copiously whenever I'm standing to the point that I have to wear a sweat band to keep the sweat from spotting my glasses. Today I had a store clerk ask me if I was all right. I feel fine, just look like I've just stepped out of the shower. The problem is worst on my face and head.

Once I sit or lie down the sweating quickly subsides.

I take are Naproxen for arthritis and Lexapro for depression.

I am having a very similar problem and have had tests from family doc, endroncronologist, infectious disease doc and heart Dr and endrocronologist at the Cleveland Clinic,  all my tests come back just fine.   Mine has been going on for over 16 mos and goes for hours and then finally passes, but comes back with no explaination, but happens every day.   I am hunting for an answer

I, too, have this SAME problem; noticeable when standing or walking (grocery shopping or at the local Wal-Mart)...thought the stores just needed to turn the AC on and stop trying to save energy...thought, too, it might be caused by pain (which, in turn, might be masked by other medicines I take to control pain...).  So - if ANYONE has info - would thoroughly appreciate a response...thank you!  Also noticed it's been going on for almost a year now...
