What are the symptoms of frequent sweating on the head?

1What medicine is good for sweating on the head?

1. If you sweat a lot when you are not exercising, it is a manifestation of hedyohidrosis. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that qi deficiency causes spontaneous sweating, and spontaneous sweating refers to increased sweating while awake. Sweating a lot during sleep and stopping sweating after waking up is called night sweats, which are caused by Yin deficiency.

2. Spontaneous sweating (sweating when awake), with the main sweating sites being the head and trunk, accompanied by mental fatigue, decreased appetite, loose stools, clear and long urination, general weakness, shortness of breath and laziness to speak, sallow complexion and thin muscles, and cold hands and feet, is a sign of Qi deficiency.

3. Excessive sweating on the head indicates yang deficiency. The head is the meeting point of all yang, with the most yang energy, so its consolidating power should be the strongest. However, if you sweat on your head but have no or little sweat on your whole body, it only means that your Yang Qi is weak.

4. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that sweating on the head is mostly caused by kidney yang deficiency, and needs to be treated by tonifying kidney yang. Some medicines such as Wu Zi Yan Zong Wan or Jingui Shen Qi Wan can be used, which have certain effects and generally the condition can gradually improve.

5. In daily life, be careful not to eat too much raw or cold food, do not stay up late, get enough sleep, and exercise moderately. At night, you should soak your feet in warm water until your body sweats slightly to expel the dampness and coldness in your body. Try to eat more warm and nourishing foods, such as jujube, beef, yam, honey, Poria cocos, etc., which can strengthen the spleen and stomach, replenish qi and nourish blood. Drink more water and eat less high-fat foods.

1. Hypoglycemia

There are many causes of hypoglycemia, and excessive sympathetic nerve excitement is the main manifestation during an attack. At this time, due to the sudden drop in blood sugar, the sympathetic nerves are stimulated and the body releases a large amount of adrenaline. As a result, the patient may experience symptoms such as pale face, cold sweats, and tremors in the hands and feet.

Fear of heat and excessive sweating are one of the main characteristics of this disease. At the same time, it is also accompanied by symptoms such as mental tension, personality changes, difficulty falling asleep, and suspicion.

3 Common ways of sweating

1. Spontaneous sweating

Frequent sweating that is not caused by hot weather, taking diaphoretics or other stimuli is called "spontaneous sweating". Spontaneous sweating is mostly caused by weak lung qi, weak Wei Yang, and leakage of body fluids, and is therefore often accompanied by symptoms of Yang qi deficiency such as fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, and chills. It is more common in children with rickets and patients with hyperthyroidism.

2. Night sweats

You sweat when you fall asleep and stop sweating when you wake up. Night sweats are mostly caused by Yin deficiency. Yin deficiency leads to Yang hyperactivity. Yin cannot control Yang, and body fluid turns into sweat. Therefore, it is often accompanied by symptoms such as fever in the five parts of the body, insomnia, and dry mouth and throat. Common in patients with infiltrative stage of pulmonary tuberculosis.

3. War sweat

That is, sweating followed by whole body shivering is a manifestation of the struggle between good and evil during the process of febrile disease. If the fever subsides after sweating, the pulse becomes calm and the body becomes cool, it means that the evil has gone away and the body is at peace, and the vital energy has recovered, which is a good phenomenon. If the limbs become cold and the patient becomes restless after sweating, it means that the body's health cannot overcome the negative energy and that the body's health becomes weaker, which is a serious symptom. War sweats are common in the early and middle stages of various infectious diseases.

4. Stop sweating

It refers to a critical condition, when the vital energy is weak and the Yang energy is about to be exhausted, the patient will sweat profusely, and is often accompanied by critical symptoms such as rapid breathing, cold limbs, weak pulse, and sometimes absent pulse. It is a sign that the Yang energy is about to be exhausted, and is more common in patients with heart failure and collapse.

5. Head sweat

Sweating is limited to the head. It is mostly caused by evil heat in the upper burner, or stagnation of damp heat in the middle burner, and is more common in Yangming heat syndrome and damp-heat syndrome. If it occurs after a serious illness, or in the elderly with shortness of breath and sweating on the forehead, it is mostly a symptom of deficiency. If a person suddenly breaks out in forehead with profuse sweat at the end of a serious illness, it is a dangerous sign that the yin is rising, the yin deficiency cannot attach to the yang, and the yin fluid is lost along with the qi. However, children often sweat on their heads when they sleep. If there are no other symptoms, it is not a sign of illness.
