Sweating is your body's natural way of cooling down and getting rid of excess chemicals. Sometimes, heavy sweating is normal. You may sweat a lot when you exercise, when you are too hot, or when you are frightened.
Here are three common causes of sweating:
- Exercise: Physical activity increases your body temperature, and your body responds by sweating to cool itself down.
- Heat: When your body is exposed to high temperatures, it naturally sweats to maintain a stable core temperature.
- Stress or Fear: Stress and fear activate the sympathetic nervous system, which can lead to increased sweating.
