Clammy Hands

[AngelaMc]

I know Clammy Hands can be caused by overactive sweat glands, and it also occurs in feet (clammy feet). But when I was experiencing Clammy Hands I asked my Doctor about it at my next appointment, and he told me my hands were getting clammy due to my Anxiety, that it was one of the physical symptoms.

There is nothing more embarrassing than to shake someone's hand when they are clammy, so the best way I found to deal with this unnerving situation is to sprinkle baby powder on my hands before I have to go out, you can instantly feel them getting dryer and cooler, it really works. Do you experience Clammy Hands? What method works for you?

When anxiety sets in it can make all our body sweat and so give us clammy or hot hands. For sure this is embarrassing if you have to shake hands with someone. I rinse my hands under cold water when they feel hot and clammy. It seems to work but I had not thought of sprinkling talc over them before.

Talc is a good remedy that I have never personally used. Thanks for suggesting that.

I only get nervous when I go for a viva or an interview. Although I don't really get clammy but I get cold feet and hands.

I rub them to warm them up. Otherwise I know of a friend who sweats like a fish when she is nervous or anxious.
