Hyperhidrosis refers to excessive sweating. Excessive sweating can not only be embarrassing, but can also be quite disruptive. Some people have night sweats that can be quite severe, causing them to wake up to drenched sheets and pillows. In addition, a simple task can become more difficult because of the amount of sweat produced by the hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
