  2. People also ask
    Why do I sweat a lot if I'm nervous?
    Sweating also occurs, especially on your palms, when you're nervous. Primary hyperhidrosis is caused by faulty nerve signals that trigger eccrine sweat glands to become overactive. It usually affects the palms, soles, underarms and sometimes the face. There is no medical cause for this type of hyperhidrosis.
