why does my head sweat so much, even when I'm not exercising I smell cigarette smoke too when there is no?

Question

I sweat alot on my head, even when my torso is not sweating. It happens all the time but especially at night, my pillow case gets soaked. I also smell cigarette smoke sometimes when I know that there is no one smoking anywhere near me.

You might want to get checked out by a neurologist. WHen I was a teenager, I thought I smelled something burning and right after I smelled the intense burning I began having a seizure. Subsequent visits to the doctor (and neurologist) revealed that I was having uncinate lobe seizures. They weren't grand mal, nor were they petit mal... just something in between.

It may be a stretch, but if everything else is ok, you might see if you are experiencing little seizures at night... I eventually outgrew mine, and only took medication for seizures for about 3 and a half years.
