Excessive sweating when nervous

by Bizz28, Mar 06, 2009 09:25AM

I sweat REALLY bad when I am nervous. Not my head or hands or anything, just my underarms. This happens a lot when test taking, or just thinking it will happen. I think I psych myself into it sometimes. once it is all over I dry right back up. How can I try to prevent this?

Hi,

Sweating is a function of the autonomous nervous system. In times of stress or anxiety, most people sweat. Use sweat pads, deodorants and antiperspirants. Relieve stress by meditation.

Regards
