I have started sweating after eating. Anyone else?

Actually, I was suggesting an endocrinologist for the lady who was sweating after eating. That's because hormones can be so powerful. My problem of nose-running after eating is not a major one. I have more significant problems, such as pelvic organ prolapse, which I discussed recently at Mayo Connect.

I have been getting hot during and after eating for few years now and found this thread recently. Doesn't matter what I eat as long as is substantial meal such as lunch or dinner 400g or more. I sweat underarms, forehead, face, and it is really annoying. I am going to test for graves disease based on post above. I have been on Mobic anti-inflammatories and Tramadol for back pain. No operations not diabetes or other health issues.

I ask if anyone above who mentioned back pain or other conditions have been on Tramadol for pain or Mobic anti-inflammatories long term?

Hello @rsumsion and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. On Mayo Connect we are not medical professionals and therefore we cannot diagnose health problems. However, we can share our own personal experiences. I also have had, on occasion, the type of hot flash/sweating that you mention following a meal. For me, it seems to be related to a pre-diabetic condition. However, there are other digestive tract diseases that are also known to cause these symptoms.

If I were you, I would have a consult with both a GI specialist(for an upper endoscopy) as well as an endocrinologist. Together they might be able to help you with these symptoms.

Have you previously consulted with either or both of these specialists?

No I haven't. Until reading this I wasn't sure it was a condition but rather just something that happened. It is annoying though so will look further into it and start with my GP. Surely if pre-diabetic I would have something show up in bloods re sugar levels as a first step. So thanks will start there and share this what you mentioned with the GP. Very interesting.

I experience the same sweating after eating. No diabetes, no weight loss surgery. I did have a CABGx3.

@bramos10 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, a place to give and get support.

I'm sure you are motivated to find an answer to this issue. Members like @luftmensh1 @rsumsion @contentandwell @jarnold246 @evalvarez have experience with this topic and would a wonderful connection.

May I ask how long the sweating started?

@bramos10 @erikas I sometimes sweat after a meal, just for a brief amount of time. I have always assumed it's just my digestive system working. I find it to be especially true when I eat red meat. Frankly, it is not something that has ever caused me concern, it's just a mild nuisance.

If it happens every time and is very bothersome then that's probably a different thing and perhaps you should consult with a gastroenterologist, or with your PCP if your PCP is a doctor of internal medicine.

Hello @rsumsion and others who have sweating after eating. I would encourage you to see a GI specialist and let them make the decision as to what is normal or something that needs attention.

Adult Leucemia

I've had my fair share of illness and diagnosis in my life. Sadly things are not getting better.
Here's the shorter version of my story.
I'm adopted and recently found my birth mom. I've been diagnosed with medical issues throughout my life that puzzle doctors. They have become more and more severe to me but all the doctors I've seen don't have many answers. It's not an easy thing to digest when it is effecting my daily living and mental health. When I found my birth mom this year I asked her for my family health history. I knew some but not much. I knew I was premature weighing almost 3lbs. with cardiac issues, seizures, and cyanotic spells, neonatal hypoglycemia, anima and my metrobolic screening at birth showed TSH 15.1 and T4 at 4.0 . I'm currently experiencing all of the same thyroid symptoms. I don't know what long term effects since. She wasn't diagnosed after I was delivered @ 34weeks gastational C-section. The symptoms started off slow getting sick not having a good immune system (teenager) to ENT allergies, endometriosis, IBS, but now 20yrs later I start having daily dizzy/faint episodes (on days some off days for 8 or so months straight) followed by hypertension, EOE- trouble swollowing , heart racing /chest aches, I'm now pre-diabetic and lots of pain. Rashes appear on my back sometimes , temperature change turns my skin blue, I'm always cold, my hands and feet turn numb/tingling sometimes, severe constipation, fatigue, nerve/muscle aches, Back and pelvic pain. I'm getting nauseous out of nowhere. It doesn't end. IT REALLY DOESN'T!! I'm a lot weaker and I'm only 38. My chest pain and dramatic weight loss is the most concerning right now. I lost 20 pounds since January with no diet changes. I can't get a doctor to understand my concerns due to my symptoms, my birth medical history and the recent news of my birth mom being pregnant with me while she had
graves disease. while she was pregnant with me that it could maybe related. Can the symptoms be starting to effect me more as I'm get older? Thyroid blood tests are still normal. Any help or advice I'd greatly appreciate it.
