Profuse sweating when eating sour foods

[bdusel]

I hope this question doesn't seem trivial our in the wrong forum.

Whenever I consume sour foods, such as vinegar flavored potato chips or mustard, sour candies and the like, I begin to sweat profusely almost instantly.  I thought this might be salt-related so to test that I tried chewing on the food without swallowing and obtained the same effect.  It seems that sour food in my mouth causes me to sweat instantly.  This is why I am posting to the neurology forum.

I don't think it is a stress reaction because my heart rate stays the same.  What could be causing this, and should I avoid sour foods?

Easy fix......don't eat sour foods

This happens to my dad, only with fruits. You may want to get some allergy tests done and find out if some or all sour foods are your "trigger foods." Hope this helps.
