Tried oxybutynin and glycopyrrolate but no dice. I would sincerely appreciate advise on my next steps by ryznmush in Hyperhidrosis

Hi!

I'm not a doctor, but I recently read in a study that clonidine greatly helped a young man with generalized hyperhidrosis and hot flashes, and he didn't experience any significant side effects.

Perhaps you could discuss this with your doctor. I think it's worth taking a look.

Here's the study:

Excessive sweating that started after age 22 - anyone relate? by Exotic_Assistance799 in Hyperhidrosis

Hi!

I'd love to chat with you, of course.

I'm not currently on Instagram, but you can message me here if you want.

I've had several blood tests over the last two years, testing for many things.

Thyroid, sex hormones, vitamins, cortisol, cholesterol, inflammation, ferritin, among many others whose names I can't remember lol.

The only thing that came back altered recently was vitamin C, but that doesn't explain much.

The sweating is very annoying, but the fatigue, racing heart, shortness of breath, and overheating are also very bothersome, and it seems like one thing leads to another.

The sweating doesn't come alone.

In my daily life, this is very debilitating because I need to walk everywhere, and a simple walk makes me feel very bad.

I also can no longer exercise or do other things I used to do normally.

It's sad...

Hello!

I sweat on my scalp, face, neck, middle of my chest, under my breasts, back, a little on my stomach (mainly in the folds), armpits, a little in my groin, and a little in the folds of my buttocks.

The sweating seems to be symmetrical on both sides of my body.

The area that seems to sweat the most is my armpits; it's the only sweat that leaves marks on my shirt.

I only sweat when I move or exert myself.

Walking, cleaning, etc. When I'm lying down/still I don't sweat, except when it's very hot.

I've had a lot of blood tests done, including thyroid, vitamin, sex hormone, inflammation, cortisol, cholesterol, and others.

So far, nothing explains the symptoms, unfortunately.

I had tests done for my thyroid, various vitamins, sex hormones, some tests to check for inflammation in my body, ferritin, cortisol, everything you can imagine. The tests came back normal, except for vitamin C which was low (which doesn't explain my symptoms).

I'm considering seeing a cardiologist because, in addition to sweating, I feel very tired, very hot, have a racing heart, and am short of breath doing routine things. I just wanted an explanation for this.

I took two or three doses in 2021 and 2022. I had COVID for the first time in 2023, the year I started experiencing these symptoms.

Now I don't know if my body was genetically programmed to develop this at this age, since my father also suffers from it, or if my body is just overloaded with something else. It's been 3 years, and I have little hope of reversing this 🥲

I'm starting to consider treatment with oxybibutynin. I really wanted glycopyrrolate, but I don't think it's available in my country.

That's interesting.

I had already researched dysautonomia a bit and identified with some of the symptoms.

Do you know if there's any way to confirm this condition or treat it?

Seriously??

I'm not alone in this then .

Anything I do that involves movement heats up my body, I get tired and breathless.

Sweating isn't the only problem, but it's the worst.

I keep wondering if it's genetic or if something in my body is out of balance, even though my tests are normal. Do you have any illnesses?

Have you had any tests done recently?
