Causes And Symptoms Of Sweating
What causes a symptom like sweating to show its face can come from a wide variety of physical and mental conditions.
Cause - Exercise, Symptom - Sweating
Exercising at a fast enough pace to produce sweat, allows toxins and poisons to be released through the pores of your skin. It also means that you have elevated your heart rate and your vessels are being cleared of plaque as the blood rushes through the body. This is one of the very few times that sweating is a good thing; usually sweating is a symptom of something bad.
Cause - Hot Weather, Symptom - Sweating
This is another situation where sweating is good, because if you are not sweating in hot weather then it is very likely that you are about to pass out from heat stroke. Sweating cools the body.
Cause - Humidity, Symptom - Sweating
Very similar to hot weather, if you are not sweating in humid weather something might be wrong. The only exception to this rule is if you have lived in a humid climate for a very long period of time, and your body has adjusted to it.
Cause - Stress, Symptom - Sweating
Extreme stress can not only cause a person to sweat excessively, it can cause a whole range of mental illnesses. This type of sweating can be disastrous if it occurs in a business or social setting, like a job interview or a first date.
Cause - Anxiety, Symptom - Sweating
Very similar to stress, nervousness or anxiety about something that is about to happen can generate a stress response in your body, including sweating.
Cause - Fear, Symptom - Sweating
You have seen it over and over again in movies: the good guy is hiding and the bad guys are getting closer, the camera zooms in and shows a face that is full of sweat.
Cause - Smoking, Symptom - Sweating
Smoking cigarettes or cigars causes the body to sweat in an attempt to rid the body of the toxins and poisons that are being inhaled. Even those of us that don't smoke have inhaled smoke while standing around a campfire and had tears and sweat appear on our face. If this happens to you, then just move away from the fire in the direction the wind is blowing from.
Cause - Spicy Foods, Symptom - Sweating
We all have had the experience of eating in a restaurant and biting into something that causes us to sweat immediately. This extreme hot flash throughout your body is usually caused by the chewer breaking open an herb or a spice, thus emitting a sweat producing element.
Cause - Embarrassment, Symptom Sweating
Usually getting embarrassed makes peoples face turn red, but many people start to sweat just thinking about being embarrassed.
