Do I need to see a doctor? I am experiencing rushes of heat and sweating every time I bend in the middle, diaphragm area. The sweating also increases after I eat a meal. Sometimes this lasts for 30 minutes, after a meal and the sweating upon bending generally stops within a few minutes if I sit still. I am 53 yo, overweight 175 lbs, yet walk daily and use weights in exercise. I eat healthy, fruits veggies, fish, some chicken. Family history heart disease and aortic aneurysm, CA and Alzheimers disease. This is a new symptom within the past year. Had a stress test and heart monitor, ekg, all normal. I am concerned. Is this normal?
HAI I'm Chat Doctor.  Excessive sweating can happen in quiet a few conditions ranging from anxiety to heart ailments and endocrine problem. If it is associated with palpitation it is a matter of concern. As your history suggests It's aggravated after a meal and family history of heart disease.....considering your age too.....first thing to probe my mind is to investigate with basic cardiac screening. Fortunately its normal....u can be bitten relieved. Get done your blood sugars, lipids and thyroid profile too.....even that is normal nothing to worry. Continue with your daily exercise and healthy diet. Take care.
