Sweating over the head during meals may be related to physiological causes such as eating too fast, and may also be related to pathological causes of hyperthyroidism.
1. Physiological causes: overheating, eating too fast, consuming stimulating foods such as chili, pepper and garlic, and eating too hot food can cause excessive sweating during meals.
2. Pathologic causes:
Hyperthyroidism: it is a group of clinical syndromes caused by thyrotoxicosis due to overactive thyroid function, increased synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones, resulting in accelerated metabolic activity, increased excitability of the nervous, circulatory, digestive and other systems and hypermetabolism, which can be manifested as hyperphagia, emaciation, palpitations, excessive sweating and other symptoms.
Sweating over the head during meals is recommended to seek medical attention for a clear diagnosis and targeted treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
