Feeling always hot and sweating can happen for many reasons, including medical conditions, lifestyle factors, or medication side effects. Common causes include:
- Anxiety and stress, which activate the body's fight-or-flight response causing sweating and feeling hot.
- An overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) that speeds up metabolism, leading to heat intolerance and excessive sweating.
- Hyperhidrosis, a condition of overactive sweat glands causing excessive sweating without overheating.
- Certain medications and supplements can trigger sweating and hot sensations.
- Foods and drinks like spicy foods, caffeine, and alcohol may increase body temperature and sweating.
- Other health issues like diabetes, fibromyalgia, or hormonal changes can also contribute.
If this is a persistent problem, especially with other symptoms like weight loss, rapid heartbeat, or feeling faint, it would be wise to see a healthcare provider to determine the cause and get proper treatment.
