Head pouring in sweat! It's not a flush!
Posted , 8 users are following.
Hi,
whenever I do the slightest bit of activity my head starts to sweat to the extent it looks like I've been doing an aerobics class - it's awful - I have to go and blow dry my hair constantly. I did a quick shop and my hair looked like I'd just had a shower.
It's seriously embarrassing.
I know it's not a hot flush - I know what they are!
It's just when I do the slightest bit of physical activity it happens.
Can anyone relate to this? It is SO severe I am going to have to go to my doctor.
Thank you Beautiful Ladies

thank you for reassuring me!
Felt like am going mad!
This started long before any other Peri symptom but has gotten significantly worse recently.
Am on HRT which has stopped the out of control hot flushes.
Am 47
I really need something to help - it's seriously embarrassing and people just look at me as if as nuts!
Maybe someone will post a reply to help us

You too? I'm in menopause now (last period ended 2nd June). I get the sudden hot flush to my head immediately followed by all over sweat but the head sweats when I try to do anything! The phrase "dripping with sweat" has never been so apt, it literally drips off my nose if I haven't anything to mop my face with, and soaked hair too. My internal thermostat has never worked properly, as a child I'd break into a sweat going from outside into a shop but this is ridiculous!

Hi Anne,
yes the head sweats when doing the slightest thing is crazy!
Have you spoken to your doctor about it?

No I haven't, I don't think there's much they could do to stop it entirely and I don't want to go on HRT but I am trying red clover isoflavone tablets (phytoestrogen) and I think that's helped. I don't seem to sweat quite as much as I did in the day and the night sweats are manageable.

can someone please explain what the difference is? I've been getting sweats that I had thought were hot flushes but lasting much longer that I imagined they would. Head sweats sometimes with exertion and sometimes not but also my whole body temperature shoots up. I wake up loads at night sweating too 😦
I've recently started to take magnesium, its supposed to be good for lots of different things so I'll see if it helps,
