Sudden Excess Sweating

Hello all,

I have recently noticed that I have been sweating more than normal.  Armpits, feet and crotch.  The last of those is the most bothersome, because it stinks!  I live in a cold climate, so I'm not really sure why I'm sweating (I'm never hot).

Recent changes: I have been eating a lot less, losing weight.
I stopped taking the pill after taking it for about 3 years.
I have been drinking a lot of water... but I have done that before, and never sweat like this.

Please help!

I am 70, presumably in good health, active, fit & I eat sensibly. I have become more aware of sweating when, ie vacuuming, carrying out menial tasks.  I assumed I had long past the so called 'change'.  I take 75 mg levothyroxine for under active thyroid with annual blood tests to check whether dosage should be changed.
What could cause this problem pleas?
