Why do I sweat so much after walking?

[Anonymous]

I go for a walk on my 1 hour lunch break.

It's just a stroll around the city, mostly flat.

When I come back to the office, my armpits are sweaty and it's like water under my breasts.

I freshen up in the work shower room.

I wear deodorant.

I don't know why I sweat after just going for a. walk.

I wear tshirts not long sleeves

Profuse sweating after a casual walk isn't too abnormal but could signal something worth looking into. A few things that might be at play:

- How's your hydration? Water is so important for regulating your body temp, especially during exercise.

- Are your workout clothes breathable cotton blends like dri-fit? Might need fabrics that wick moisture away from your skin better.

- Have you tried different deodorants? Sometimes the clinical ones work best for heavy sweaters. Look for aluminum-free options too.

- Any changes in your routine that could be adding stress? Our bodies sweat more when we're feeling tense.

- Talk to your girlfriends - many deal with sweating and have tips! Other conditions like PCOS can cause it too.

If it's really excessive or worrying you, definitely get it checked by your doctor just to rule anything out. But most likely it's your natural response to activity - our bodies cool us differently! Keep an extra shirt on hand if it makes you self-conscious. You're doing great taking care of yourself 🙌🏽

Let me know if any of those suggestions help at all!

You might have hyperhidrosis'. It means excessive sweating.

That's perfectly normal, and its better than not sweating at all.
