What it may mean: Sweating profusely may be an indication of hyperthyroidism whereby the thyroid gland produces too much hormones, said Dr Loh Keh Chuan from Loh Keh Chuan Diabetes, Thyroid & Hormone Clinic.
What can be done: You should visit a doctor to get medication such as Carbimazole that will help prevent the gland from being overactive. They are usually taken over a period of 18 to 24 months.
