Cold sweat suddenly appears and is not related to temperature or external activity. According to Shoshana Ungerleider, an Internal Medicine Specialist, cold sweat can make the skin feel moist, cold, and sticky. Especially in the forehead, palms, or armpits. Common symptoms accompanying cold sweat include dizziness, nausea, and a fast heartbeat.

Low blood sugar or hypoglycemia occurs when the glucose levels in the blood drop abnormally. "When blood sugar drops, the body releases adrenaline which causes symptoms such as cold sweat, trembling, and anxiety," said Dr. Ungerleider. Hypoglycemia rarely occurs in those who do not have diabetes.

After giving birth, of course the level of estrogen hormones will decrease. This condition can cause you to have cold sweats, especially at night. Usually, this lasts for a few weeks and subsides after the hormone levels return to normal. Sweating like this does not need to be treated, but if postpartum symptoms make you worried, it is better to consult with an obstetrician immediately.

The first step to overcoming cold sweat is to understand its causes and determine appropriate treatment. If it is caused by anxiety, practice relaxation techniques such as yoga or writing a journal. Consider medication and therapy if anxiety affects daily life.
