Why do I always overheat?
Discussion
For as long as I can remember I have always run hot, far hotter than average...
Going to the gym, within 5 minutes doing cardio I look like I've been swimming whilst wearing my clothes, in business meetings I heat up and sweat beneath my suit, especially when under pressure, and even when at my desk i'm hot when everybody else is complaining of being cold...
Needless to say it's rather embarassing, never knowing if you've got patches the size of beach balls under your arms and showering at least twice a day incase I smell (I don't normally for the record!) and to make sure I feel clean.
This goes back as far as I can remember, back at school I was comfortable walking to school in shorts when it was snowing and now I naturally hate the summer heat and am far more comfortable in winter.
I'm 23 now, and with a few interviews lined up for the next week I don't want to turn to a sweaty mess and set the wrong impression, drying my palm on my trousers to make sure its not like shaking a wet duck and getting up from the faux leather seats hoping I don't have a damp arse...
How do I fix this? Doctors seemed to think it was normal when I went in a few years ago and as a result I haven't ventured back, I am generally pretty fit, can run 10k without too much issue, cycle the 15 miles each way to work and back over the summer and interval train a few days a week (4 min Km's between 3 weight circuits per session). Although I am carrying a little timber currently I am not obese but am big framed, however I am currently watching my eating, loosing near a stone in the past 2 weeks with another 1.5 to go before I'm at my perfect weight (nerdfitness inspired diet).
Does anybody know the likely causes or know of things I can do to solve this embarassing problem?

I was the same! Also when eating, the sweat would drop off me, not nice at all
Yes! A big meal, especially if its warm will see me sweating! Just got to catch the drips before they fall :sick:Anyway had the interview this morning and it was rather warm in the room, in the first grilling I was dripping and the patches returned, but thankfully subsided by the time the second was done and I had to get up...
Fingers crossed as its now the only outstanding opportunity, just found out I was turned down after the first interview at Barclays
