One-sided armpit sweat while just sitting..

[Midnight145]

Not a set topic, but wondered if anyone else has this and if there's something to investigate or just one of those things.. Since having my second child, I've noticed I sweat only from my right armpit - the left one v little when exercising (legging it to nursery for pick up..). Also now when am just sitting at my desk working, no excessive stress or anything. Has anyone else suddenly stopped sweating from one armpit, and/or sweat while not active?

In case it's useful info and somehow relevant.. I still breastfeed my nearly 18 mth old, have a swollen gland under jaw (scan next month but gp not worried), quite discharge-y since second birth (not nasty just more!).. Probably not particularly useful to include these but here we go!

Thanks anyone for sharing their experience. Ah yes, I mentioned the sudden one sided sweating a while ago to a GP but again didn't seem concerned. Don't why I am (at times), just curious because it's a strange change.

*not sexy topic, not "set".. that word clearly not recognised by my phone dictionary anymore 😆

I have the same issues except it's from both armpits! I'll be sitting doing normal stuff and I'll start sweating. I think it's hormonal, I started taking starflower oil recently and it's gotten a lot better. Before I was taking 2 showers a day!

Good ol' hormones! Glad the starflower oil seems to be helping you. I'll give it a go, too :)

If you see a doctor after your scan mention it to him/her as well. I wondered if they might be related. Good to get a second opinion.

My DD has just started having this problem @Midnight145. She's 15. I don't fancy my chances getting a doctor's appointment but I'm a bit worried about it. It's odd that it's just one side.

I sweat more from my right side than the left but I am generally sweaty anyway. Its horrible

@WhereAreWeNow It is odd, isn't it, to suddenly just stop sweating from one armpit/side. I'll mention it again next time I see a GP - appreciate it if you could let me know if you learn anything more, and I'll do the same! Of course hoping it's nothing serious, and that your DD is healthy & well. No other odd things or symptoms? Really can't find much about it online (not that Googling is typically advised..).

@dementedpixie thanks for sharing you also have differences how much you sweat on different sides. I can imagine it must be horrible if often sweaty generally :/
