Dealing With Excessive Sweating and Weight GainExcessive Sweating and Weight Gain - The Causes There are actually quite a few different causes that are considered as being responsible for excessive sweating and weight gain, one in particular being genetics. Research and studies have shown that sweating problems tend to be hereditary, and so if others in your family have suffered from these sorts of conditions then you are much more likely to develop them as well. Having an overactive thyroid can also be a cause of both excessive sweating and weight gain, and this can be a very serious issue. The thyroid gland is located just below the larynx in the front of the neck, and in some thyroid diseases, the thyroid gland enlarges, which can be felt and seen as a bump in the neck. Often times the first sensation with thyroid enlargement is a feeling of fullness or difficulty swallowing, and so if you ever notice these sorts of symptoms you want to make sure that you get in to see your doctor as soon as you can. Certain foods have actually also been known to be responsible for excessive sweating and weight gain, and this includes greasy and fatty foods in particular. Drinking hot beverages and those that contain caffeine or alcohol can also cause sweating and weight gain, as well as spicy foods. This is why you want to make sure that you eat a healthy and nutritious diet, one that is rich in fresh fruits and vegetables. Certain drugs can also be causes, and drugs that can cause sweating and weight gain include some antipsychotic medicines that are used to treat mental disorders, morphine and excess doses of the thyroid hormone thyroxine. Menopause is another possible factor, as women going through menopause may experience hot flashes, which are rises in temperature accompanied by sweating and a feeling of intense heat. Menopause has also been known to be responsible for weight gain. Determining what the root cause of your own sweating and weight gain is important, because once you have found out the cause, then you can properly work towards finding the best cure. |
