I'm a 14 y/o girl, and for as long as I can remember, I've had sweaty palms. I don't mean a little moisture from time to time; I have really sweaty palms almost all the time. It's embarrassing, and such a pain! I can't shake hands with people, and holding hands is something I dread doing; whenever I do either, the person looks disgusted! I go to a Catholic school, and we often have Mass during school hours. We shake hands with people, hold hands during the Our Father...But strangely, this seems to be one of the few times when I don't have a lot of sweat. It's strange, because I was reading an online article, and another person said the same thing about sweating in church. Maybe this is because church is a calming, peaceful place where I don't feel so anxious?
As for anxiety, this definitely could be a factor. I've been diagnosed with a minor anxiety disorder, and I do worry an awful lot. Alternatively, it could have something to do with my diet. I've been a vegetarian since I was 9, and according to my aunt, who is a nutritionist, protein deficiency can cause a lot of problems, especially in teens.
Anyway, I've had this problem for a very long time. I get cold, clammy hands and feet all the time. It's strange, because I'll be doing something, and then all of a sudden, I realize that my hands aren't sweating; but right then, they'll start sweating again!
Does anyone know of any cures/remedies? Or might anyone know some of the causes of this problem?
