sweating

[Lynn1966]

Morning to all you lovely people. I have a strange question that I can’t see that it’s been asked before.. Ever since I had my heart attack I have noticed I don’t sweat while working, going for walks or down the gym. It can be a very hot summers day and I still don’t sweat.

I know I shouldn’t complain but I find it strange.

I hope you are all keeping well and keeping warm x

just like the Duke of York, then!

I expect you drink lots of water?

[Lynn1966 in reply to Happyrosie]

Yes I try to have the minimum of three pints a day when I am working then about five pints when I’m not working xx

Hi Lynn,

My first thought was that the medication you are on might be affecting your circulation and sweat glands. I had the opposite effect with one of my medications last summer and I had to stop taking it for a while. That was during a period when it was 30+C . I take Nifedipine for Raynauds - basically the blood vessels near the skin surface are opened up and so help transfer heat to the extremities. In the hot weather I basically overheated. I had to shower 3 times on one particular day! All is good though from autumn to spring. 😀

Might be worth a chat with your GP.

Kind regards,

Gerald

I wish I was like that.! I can sweat on a cold day. Iv got have a breeze moving around all the time. Iv got to sleep in a bedroom with open windows and doctors say there’s nothing wrong.😳

Think good idea to rule out medication. I was put on Nefopam and couldn’t stop sweating.
