why are my wifes feet and palms of her hands so clammy?

Answer 1

Some people have sweat glands which work too hard and produce far too much sweat (medical term Hyperhidrosis). If she goes to see her doctor she can be treated for it;

Answer 2

For some people, clammy hands and feet are genetic. Carrying a small container of baby powder with you and applying it after washing your hands, and before shaking hands with someone, may be sufficient for you. But if the perspiration persists, see a health care provider to see if you have hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, of the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet. Numerous treatment options are now available that may effectively dry your hands and feet and leave you feeling comfortable as well.

Answer 3

Hi,
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition in which a person sweats excessively and unpredictably. People with hyperhidrosis may sweat even when the temperature is cool or when they are at rest. Sweating helps the body stay cool. In most cases, it is perfectly natural. People sweat more in warm temperatures, when they exercise, or in response to situations that make them nervous, angry, embarrassed, or afraid.
Excessive sweating occurs without such triggers. Persons with hyperhidrosis appear to have overactive sweat glands. The uncontrollable sweating can lead to significant discomfort, both physical and emotional. When excessive sweating affects the hands, feet, and armpits, it is called primary or focal hyperhidrosis. In most cases, no cause can be found. It seems to run in families.
If the sweating occurs as a result of another medical condition, it is called secondary hyperhidrosis. The sweating may be all over the body or it may be in one area.

Answer 4

Are they cloven?

Although both a high metabolism and a mild disease condition can cause this, I have always found (the handshake test) that such occurences are linked to prescription drugs. Cold clammy can be an indication of beta blockers being taken.

Also, who does the washing up? Nothing more designed to dry out the hands and make them ruff!
