Cuidados en el hogar:

Después de sudar, usted debe:

  • Tomar mucha agua para reponer los líquidos corporales perdidos.
  • Reducir ligeramente la temperatura ambiente para prevenir más sudoración.
  • Lavarse la cara y el cuerpo si la sal del sudor se le ha secado sobre la piel.

Cuándo contactar a un profesional médico:

Consulte con el médico si la sudoración ocurre con:

  • Dolor torácico
  • Fiebre
  • Latidos cardíacos rápidos y fuertes
  • Dificultad para respirar
  • Pérdida de peso

Estos síntomas pueden ser indicio de un problema, como hipertiroidismo o infección.

  • La sudoración ocurre con o va seguida de presión o dolor torácico.
  • Usted también baja de peso o transpira inusualmente al dormir.
