Do you sweat a lot? I suddenly do.

[jimmyj]

OK, here's one for the books. Since I turned 45 I sweat buckets. I am reasonably fit, although I do admit to having an extra 20lbs on me (I'm 6'3" and just under 220lbs).

I have always been a bit of a furnace, comfy at 40 below and not often having to wear gloves or mittens unless it's really cold. But this is nuts, I perspire like nobody's business all of a sudden. Perhaps it's a side effect of medication that I take or something (high blood pressure, been on it for 10 years) but holy moly.

How bout you all. Are you noting differences as you get older with perspiration?

I was going to ask if you had checked your blood pressure. Obviously you are on top of that. I found that once I started having high blood pressure I could sweat buckets.

Ooh! I can help with this one. Prilosec OTC is a freaking miracle drug. I switched to this when I got tired of gobbling Tums all the time.

It's been real hot this year. Maybe that's a factor. 102 at my house today.

I would have to say I've always sweated a good bit. My Dad did too, if heredity plays a role. Now that I am going to the gym several times a week, I think I'm one of the sweatiest people there My hair will be sopping wet, t-shirt and arms. I think older people do sweat a little more than younger ones.

I like my weather on the cool side too, not -40*, but under 65*F down to 10*F is fine with me. Too bad gardens don't grow well at 65*.
