Dr Mariano what could be some possible causes of a complete lack of sweating which i have now. This is also even during and after exercise, my body is just dry.

Besides my hashimoto’s what could other causes be?

Thank you.

Hypothyroidism is a common cause of anhidrosis – the inability to perspire. Anhidrosis, in some cases, can be life-threatening since the body can overheat, leading to heatstroke.

Some causes include:

• Impaired autonomic nervous system function, e.g. from hypothyroidism, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, amyloidosis, Sjogren’s syndrome, Ross syndrome, Horner syndrome, trauma affecting sympathetic nervous system function, Guillain-Barre syndrome, etc.
• Skin conditions. e.g. burns damaging the sweat glands, genetic illness affecting the skin affecting sweat gland function (e.g. hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, Ichthyosis, Atopic Eczema, Psoriasis, Scleroderma, Leprosy), blockage of sweat glands from antiperspirants, creams, etc.
• Medications blocking Acetylcholine, e.g. cogentin, amitriptyline, antihistamines, etc.
• Dehydration
• Etc.
