apayette24, hypercat is correct in that excessive sweating is just one of the

symptoms of GAD. How you will know that it's from stress/fear is that it

will have a strong odor different than just working hard kind of sweat.

The smell comes from perspiration as well as emitting stress hormone release

to cool down the body. It's nothing to worry about. xx

Thank you

Don't worry dude

Some of the meds can cause increased sweating.

I had profuse sweating with Prozac.

Not sure if you are on meds. If you are maybe just check if that's one of the side effects.

[apayett24 in reply to Dolphin14]

I’m not on meds I still haven’t been able to get to the doctor

[Dolphin14 in reply to apayett24]

Ok it was just a thought

[apayett24 in reply to Dolphin14]

I wish I could get over this fear

[Dolphin14 in reply to apayett24]

Is it still going on? And it's a lot of sweating?

No other symptoms of being ill?

Anxiety is a definite culprit in this.

When are you seeing the md

[apayett24 in reply to Dolphin14]

It stops and comes back I have no symptoms of sickness and I haven’t left my house in years now

[Dolphin14 in reply to apayett24]

May be able to give you some advice on trying to get out of the house.

[Dolphin14]

Any chance it's hormone related?

[apayett24 in reply to Dolphin14]

Idk

[Dolphin14 in reply to apayett24]

Are you female? If so how old?

[Dolphin14]

I'm not trying to diagnose as you know we don't do that here.

But I'm thinking of all the other things that have caused this to happen to me.

If you haven't been out of the house you probably haven't had an MD eval in awhile?

Sounds like you may need to make an appointment.

If nothing shows up it probably is anxiety. But the best thing to do is rule out anything else going on

[apayett24 in reply to Dolphin14]

My problem is getting there I have bad anxiety

[Dolphin14 in reply to apayett24]

It is going to be hard.

I know there are people on here who have suffered agoraphobia. Mayb they have some advice for you.
