Hyperhidrosis Surgery - Known as endoscopic sympathectomy (ETS), is the treatment of choice for severe hyperhidrosis. In this surgery there is interruption of nerve impulses to sweat glands of the palms, face, axillae (armpits) by cutting or electrocautery.

Maybe you could visit a dermatologist/surgeon and dicuss treatment modalities.
I am currently on 30 mg of diltiazem 3x day and i was wondering how effective is this dose at bring down your blood pressure. and how much would it bring it down. a rough estimate would be great. for i am hoping to come off of this medicine.
Is there anything more I can do to treat my hyperhidrosis more thoroughly? Do you know if botox injections for hyperhidrosis are limited to forheads/hands/feet/armpits? Or could I receive them in other places such as my nose or back?
Are there any more comprehensive solutions (ie. surgery) for hyperhidrosis? I'm willing to do almost anythign at this point - it really is paralyzing my life.
I'm looking for an answer to my dilemma. I have an AV fistula or AVM in femoral artery/vein. Probably congenital. 2 weeks ago I had 3 stents placed, but unfortunately that didn't provide lasting results. I did get 3 days relief from severe pelvic pain (due to vasculature congestion?) and the hyperhidrosis stopped as well. The pain and hyperhidrosis have returned and I'm awaiting another surgery.
For the longest time ever I sweat profusely. I am a 17 year old male. It's not just my palms that sweat but also my feet (to the point where I can leave pools of water on a tile/wood floor that people mistake for "spilled water". I've been researching and found this type of swearing where you sweat all over your body when your asleep. This explains what I have BUT I'm awake when this happens.
My heart rate was the only reason my doctor gave me for taking the diltiazem. After an ECG, was diagnosed with MVP, this diagnosis was given more than a month after the ER visit and I was already on the DIltiazen, but I just recently read that Diltiazem was a treatment used for MVP and arrythmia. THAT connection was never made even though we talked about it, independent of the rapid heart rate. .Did I misinterpret what I read? I stopped taking the DIltiazem because I had a low to normal rate.
Two weeks ago my Cardio doctor changed my medication from Cardizem LA to Diltiazem CD. I know it's the generic brand of Cardizem. Anyway he raised my dosage from 240 mg. to 300 mg. For a whole week I had some terrible side effects. I blacked out once while sitting at my computer and then I came close to blacking out on a daily basis. I also felt off balance. I ended up going to my primary doctor, not for this, but for something else. I guess it was a follow up appointment.
When I first started Diltiazem I had a powerful throbbing headache for a few weeks. It gradually tapered off. I was a bit tired too. After I'd been on it for a few months my BP would have low times (systolic in the 90's). I was a slug when my bp dropped that low. But thank goodness it wasn't that low all the time. It sure helped with the tachy times and chest pain though.
m taking the referred supplement for maybe around 2 months and despite not curing my axillary hyperhidrosis it helps me feeling calmer overall.
Sometimes, I will sweat around my armpits when it is cold out. This is not enough to cause dripping sweat, but it is enough to darken the armpit-area of my clothes and feel moist to touch. It started when I was 17, but actually went away for a couple of years and I have noticed it coming back. I would not consider this excessive sweat, just inappropriate sweat.
Using certain-dri has helped, but I would like to try and find a way to deal with this without things like that.
My daughter is 14 years old now, very active and battling a sever underarm odor. For a while I thought she was simply not doing a good job with her personal hygiene and would yell at her if I smelled her underarm odor. We just recently had a long talk about her personal hygiene and she told me that she does the best she can but the odor will not go away completely. She said when she gets out the shower, she can still smell the underarm odor and she also have some bumps under her arms.
I can usually control my PACs/PVCs through diet but when I stray and they flare up, calcium channel blockers (diltiazem) work like a charm. It makes them completely go away until it wears off which is about 24 hours (extended release 240), Just curious if anyone knows why doctors do not prescribe these to more patients for PAC/PVC because they seem to work.
t get any responses here, but from googling around on the web I came to the conclusion that diltiazem, a calcium channel blocker, would be better for an athlete than atenolol, a beta blocker. So I called the doctor who agreed to change my medication. Yesterday on the treadmill, after having only taken one 25mg dose of atenolol my heart rate only showed a bit over 120 when I was doing a pace for which a 140 should have been called for.
t worry about it, but when I walk a litter faster for 15-20 min my lower back gets really sweaty, and my shirt wet, but when I do normal things around house or sit I never sweat, unless it's summer and really hot...Do I have Hyperhidrosis?
I had been taking it for 6 months. Not for chest pain but for Raynaud syndrome. I have been off for 12 days. I am a little light headed. The Dr says its sick sinus syndrome and I am scheduled for a pacemaker tomorrow. I am last minute looking for anything else this can be maybe causing a temporary slow heat rate. It was only detected 4 weeks ago.
Thank for your input, but I do not have hyperhidrosis. I do not excessevly sweat during the day. Just when eating citric acid fruits, like lemons and oranges.
Its now to the point that i dont have a life,i am in the bed 90% of the time.Recently my sweat tasted really bitter on my lips for about a week.I cant even do the normal things each day with my hygiene.Im 46 years old and i cant live the rest of my life like this,im running out of hope.Is there any clinical trials or any thing that might help me?
m a female, but I can share my experience switching from a beta blocker to diltiazem. I have been taking beta blockers for 8 years for SVT and afib. I had an episode of afib and was in the hospital is Sept. They took me off the beta blocker and put me on diltiazem. It didn't control my heart rate like the beta blocker. My resting heart rate went from upper 60s to the low 80s. After a few days without my beta blocker, I ended up in the ER, in sinus tachycardia with a rate of about 120.
