WHY DO WE SWEAT WHEN WE ARE NERVOUS ?

Sweat, is your body's way of cooling itself, whether that extra heat comes from hardworking muscles or from over stimulated nerves. We are constantly sweating, even though we may not notice it. The amount of sweat produced depends upon our states of emotion and physical actively. Sweat can be made in response to nerve stimulation,hot air temperature,and or exercise.

When you are nervous, anxious or afraid, these is an increase in sympathetic nerve actively in your body as well an increase in the secretion from your adrenal gland. These substances act on your sweat glands, particularly those on the palms of your hand and your armpits,to make sweat thus, you feel a " cold sweat".
