Why don't I sweat when I exercise?

Question

When my husband and I were hiking the other day, we noticed that he was sweating quite a bit and his skin was nice and cool. I, on the other hand, was not sweating a bit and my skin was very hot.

I have noticed since then that even with a hard 40 minute workout, I don't sweat much at all. Should I be worried about my inability to sweat? What could it be caused by?

Thanks to the RN for your helpful advice...I actually drink quite a bit of water and do not drink much of anything else most days. I am hypothryoid and on medication, but I am wondering if it's related?

I am dieting and exercising regularly and losing weight...just wondering if I should be worried that my body seems to be unable to sweat. I would think that sweating would be important.

Answer 1

First of all, body response to the high temperatures is sweat at first level of heat losing but it's not a problem to anyone not to sweat so much , bcz it's related to your body physiology ( only you ) cases may be similar in general but not complied 100% , I recommend not to wish more sweating bcz it sometimes refers to heart problems than body activity, your case diagnosis would be related to hypothyroid , as I expected at my first reading for your problem ( if it was really a problem ). nothing draws your stress at all, in the end I'd like to say " compare your body activities with only normal ones "

Answer 2

I can't remember the last time I had a glass of water. I rarely drink anything but soda pop. Saying only water counts is nonsense. I would be dead, especialyl since I give plasma twice a week. My hematocrit would plummet. I don't mean to question you because I'm no RN (in fact, im fresh out of high school)) but you can survive on things besides strait water.

This could be more than dehydration. I'm talking brain problems (hypothalamus) I feel like I say it too often here, but you should see the doctor. Is your urine concentrated (really yellow, maybe smelly?) That would indicate dehydration.

EDIT: THERE IS A VERY GOOD CHANCE THEY ARE CONNECTED (your hypothroidism and anhidrosis [the term for not sweating]), there are known connections. You really should go to a doctor. It is something to worry about when you're not sweating. Check the link and see a doctor.

Answer 3

While how much people sweat varies, it is healthy to sweat (not excessively though). If you are concerned that you arent sweating enough or the amount of activity you may not be getting enough fluids. 3 of 4 glasses or water is not enough. The average recommended amount is 8 glasses a day and more if you workout. But dont get carried away with the water, you dont need a gallon. Just about 8-10glasses.

It's okay, some people sweat more than others. My best friend and I walked for an hour and at the end, he was sweating bullets and I wasn't sweating at all. It depends on who the person is.

Hello,
Hyperhidrosis, also known as polyhidrosis or sudorrhea means excessive sweating; sweating too much
The most active regions of perspiration include the hands, feet, armpits and the groin area because of a relatively high concentration of sweat glands in those areas.
There are two types of hyperhidrosis. Primary focal hyperhidrosis refers to overactive sweat glands that affect certain areas of the body, such as the hands, feet, face or underarms.
This form of hyperhidrosis can't be prevented and isn't contagious because it was probably inherited (although the condition may skip a generation). Secondary generalized hyperhidrosis is total body
sweating prompted by secondary medical conditions or medications.

I have a friend who can't sweat. Its kinda strange but it doesn't really effect him to much.
I wouldn't worry.

Answer 7

you are likely chronically dehydrated, and it will catch up with you one of these days with a nice case of heat stroke.
The human body needs a minimum of 2 liters of water every day to maintain healthy functioning, and from what you say, I'll bet you rarely drink water at all, let alone enough. No coffee, tea and soda do not count, nor does milk or juice....it has to be water.

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!

Answer 9

As long as you are drinking enough and keeping yourself hydrated, you should be just fine. People with hypothyroidism DO sweat less, however if your thyroid is controlled, that should not make a difference. I wouldnt worry about it, men just naturally sweat more than women. Just keep yourself hydrated!
