good day nairalanders,
I know everyone sweats after doing something tedious but mine has been disturbing me for months now. Pre-covid 19 I was not so bothered maybe I didn't sweat that much then but with sweating as a symptoms of covid 19 as at last year I was always scared becos that was when I began to feel that maybe it's abnormal the way I sweat. after walking for short or long distance under this Lagos sun and I board a bus that's when I sweat the most sometimes I feel embarrassed cos I'm thinking maybe other passengers will be scared to sit close to me for fear of Corona lol, back then I thought I had Corona, the reason I didn't call was because of fear of not giving proper medical attention. Its been months now and I still sweat that bad so I think its not Corona. Everytime I walk around with face towel and if by chance I left it at home, my day will be very uncomfortable. I've been thinking of going to the hospital but I felt maybe I should ask here first if anyone is going through the same issue or if its just the hard Lagos sun affecting me. To the doctors here pls is it normal or should visit a hospital
PS i take my bath regularly, once I go out even if its 1 hour I spend outside I immediately take my bath cos I will be very uncomfortable if I don't and change my clothes too. I shower like 5 times daily cos my body is always hot, I prefer sleeping on the floor rather than sitting on the chair or laying on the bed, I take a water alot and I prefer wearing just short, no shirt.
pls help push this to fp help a brother

Please check your BP first

It's a condition called 'Hyperhidrosis'. Some factors like high salt intake, extremely hot or even hot weather condition, anxiety are some of the causes of profuse sweating.



Try reducing the level of salt intake and certain spices. You can get antiperspirant. I'm pretty sure your hyperhidrosis would be resolved.

you've pointed at things I can relate to, I take lots of salt lately, I'll definitely reduce it and should I stop taking sea foods too?

Yes you should. Sea foods contain loads of mineral salts like calcium, potassium, sodium, and zinc.

You're welcome. Go and sweat no more!

Reduce ur fear and concern about what ppl feel or might perceive of you. Try to be calm n unperturbed abt ppl unnecessarily

My brother...the problem is actually caused by lectins in your diet leading to your internal heat as your immune system fighting hard to neutralize and get rid of the toxins through sweating...Try minimize intake of foods with high Lectin load for sometime and you will see that your body will stop heating up unnecessarily and it will come back to nornal...Just look up Lectins and plant paradox diet on google and YouTube...God bless.

Not everybody's system can handle lectins. They can trigger severe inflamation. A lot of foods actually contain lectins...but the most notorious Lectin foods includes: groundnut, beans, soy, grains (except millet), wheat (all wheat products and flour) and the nghtshades vegetables.

About 30% of beans protein are actually lectins. There are some preparation methods used to deactivate most lectins in beans and nightshades. But the lectins in groundnut and wheat are too strong and must be avoided. There are other healthier alternatives to these foods, like macadamia nuts and sweet potato flour.

Just check out and download Dr Steve Gundry (plant paradox diet) on google and watch his videos on YouTube to learn more about the harmful effects of lectins, the proper preparation methods of some Lectin foods and get the list of Lectin free foods....Peace.
