My dad works as a janitor for a school and he also worked around the house this passed holiday weekend. Between yesturday and today's work he got his clothes all sweaty and wet like you had a bucket of water thrown on you, wet. Now I know he was working and working a lot does cause you to sweat. But this morning it was cold and he was working and he sweated even though it was cold.

My point is that since he's sweating does it mean anything? Is he sick or is it a sign of diabetes or anything serious?

He came home perfectly fine and said he was just working hard and he has gotten really sweaty like that before. So he is fine.

You can sweat when it is cold out, but it sounds like there is something else going on. Have him go to a local drug store a couple of times a day and check his blood pressure. He should probably go see his physician and make sure he is ok.

Maybe get him to eat a bag of chips for the salt. When you sweat alot, sometimes you need it more.
