8 Common Causes of Excessive Sweating

Thyroid Issues

Thyroids issues are a possible trigger of excess sweat during pregnancy. In pregnant women, thyroids tend to be overactivated, which is linked to high levels of sweat. This condition is also known as hyperthyroidism. In general, the thyroid gland is responsible for regulating the metabolic rate. When the gland is overactive, it generates excess levels of T3 and T4 hormones. In response, the body sweats excessively. In addition to excessive sweating, other typical signs of hyperthyroidism include tremors, jitteriness, quick heartbeat, fatigue, or weight loss. [4]
