Does profuse sweating especially over the forehead suggest diabetes or heart disease? |
this kind of sweating when there is very little exertion has alarmed the person and she is quite nervous so please reply- any wise person who has the info should answer Yes Profuse and sudden sweating is one of symptoms of heart attack. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI or MI), commonly known as a heart attack, is a disease that occurs when the blood supply to a part of the heart is interrupted, causing death of heart tissue. It is the leading cause of death for both men and women all over the world. It is a medical emergency. Heart attacks are usually heralded by characteristic severe chest pain and autonomic phenomena (looking pale, sweating, feeling sick). Initial measures include oxygen, aspirin, glyceryl trinitrate spray and pain relief. An electrocardiogram (ECG, EKG), X-rays and blood tests are typically performed to aid in diagnosis. Treatment may be with medication (especially thrombolysis), angioplasty or bypass surgery. Coronary care unit admission is indicated, where complications (e.g. abnormal heart rhythms) can be treated rapidly and safely. The term myocardial infarction is derived from myocardium (the heart muscle) and infarction (tissue death due to oxygen starvation or ischemia). The phrase "heart attack" sometimes refers to heart problems other than MI, such as unstable angina pectoris and sudden cardiac death. Diabetes patients will not face such sudden sweating-. Source(s): -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/heart_attac... Being at rest and sweating can suggest high blood pressure. Diabetics that have sweating spells are having either low or high blood sugar issues. Is your friend overwieght? Being overwieght alone can cause one to be very sweaty because they have so much access fat to carry around and it can be very exerting. I would say this is not the place to find professional advice however, she should go to a doctor and have some tests ran. |
