sweating exercise - #12924

Pihu

I am really confused about this sweating exercise situation I’ve been dealing with. A few weeks ago, I decided to take up running again, you know, trying to get back in shape. At first, I was feeling pretty good, but then came the sweating. I mean, I always thought you were supposed to sweat when you exercise, right? But this feels different — like, I’ll be running for just 10 minutes and I’m absolutely drenched! Like, is this normal? I’ve read that excessive sweating during exercise can sometimes be a sign of something more. But I don’t have any other symptoms, aside from just feeling a bit overwhelmed by the amount of sweating. Once, I was out with friends and we did some light jogging, and I ended up looking like I just took a shower! One of them joked about me being a "sweating exercise machine," and I'm not sure if that’s a compliment or just weird. My friends said it could just be my body getting used to the routine but I can’t shake this feeling that maybe it’s too much. Could it be that I’m overdoing it or do I just sweat more than average? Any help would be super appreciated!

Doctors' responses

Sweating is indeed a normal part of exercising and varies greatly among individuals, but if you’re noticing a significant increase in sweating, there are several things to consider. First, it’s worth noting that different factors can affect how much you sweat, such as your fitness level, body weight, and environmental conditions like temperature or humidity. If you’ve recently resumed running after a break, your body might be adjusting to the new physical demands. If you don’t have any other symptoms like dizziness, heart palpitations, or unexplained weight loss, it’s generally less worrisome, but it’s still important to stay hydrated. Aim for drinking enough water before, during, and after your runs.

Despite this, excessive sweating, known as hyperhidrosis, can sometimes be a symptom of underlying conditions like thyroid issues or abnormal blood glucose levels. If sweating impacts your quality of life or if you observe other symptoms, consider visiting a healthcare provider. It’s often useful to note when you’re sweating more and other accompanying signs that might offer clues. When exercising, ensure you’re dressed appropriately in breathable, moisture-wicking clothing. Trying a cooler time of day for running might also alleviate excessive sweating.

If you’re finding sweating overwhelming or it’s causing concern, a simple visit to your doctor can help pinpoint the reason more accurately. They might perform a few tests if they suspect any underlying issues. Meanwhile, don’t let it deter you from staying active; physical activity has many health benefits that outweigh the inconvenience of being extra sweaty. Remember, each person’s sweating threshold varies, and yours might just be on the higher side.
