It is possible, although it is very rare.
It is a called Hematidrosis. Hematidrosis (also called hematohidrosis) is a very rare condition in which a human being sweats blood. It may occur when a person is suffering extreme levels of stress, for example, facing his or her own death. Several historical references have been described; notably by Leonardo da Vinci: describing a soldier who sweated blood before battle, as well as suggestons in the bible, that Jesus experienced hematidrosis when he was praying in the garden of Gethsemane.

Wouldn't that be bleeding and not sweating? If I ever sweat blood I'd be at the doctor's office so fast. If you're sweating blood I'd say you need to do 2 things: 1-Stop whatever you're doing; 2- See a doctor ASAP.

It is called hematidrosis, and it is associated with a high degree of psychological stress. What happens is that severe anxiety causes the release of chemicals that break down the capillaries in the sweat glands. As a result, there’s a small amount of bleeding into these sweat glands, and the sweat comes out tinged with blood.
But no, it's not a common condition.

Yes, its called hematidrosis or hemohidrosis.
Interesting note is that the Bible records that Jesus sweated blood.

It is possible. It will happen when the person is beaten to a point where the blood vessels intermix with the sweat glands.

This is the same technique I have taught over 138,000 men and women in 157 countries to successfully treat their excessive sweating condition over the past 7 years!

No. As sweat and blood are two different substances in your body, you cannot sweat blood. There are circumstances, however, in which blood can leak through your skin.
