Sweating is one of the most common symptoms of anxiety disorder, and it can be frustrating and downright embarrassing. It is one of the physiological responses triggered by the sympathetic nervous system during a flight-or-fight response. Sweating is activated when the heart rate and blood flow increases, and it is a mechanism engaged in cooling down the body to prevent overheating. If you begin to sweat during a panic attack, make sure your body can breathe. Unclench your fists, and keep your arms relaxed, by your side. If you are prone to anxiety attacks, wear loose and unrestrictive clothing.
