Palpitations triggered by anxiety or stress precipitate a rise in the fight or flight hormones adrenaline and cortisone. This rush of hormones hits fast, and the occurrence of palpitations typically worsens the reaction. Adrenaline and cortisone awaken the apocrine glands located in the groin and armpits, causing excessive sweat, referred to as stress sweat.4Heyden, Steven J. ‘Why Do People Sweat When Nervous? 6 Ways to Stop It.’ Aurora Health Care, 30 Jan. 2018, www.aurorahealthcare.org/patients-visitors/blog/why-do-people-sweat-when-nervous-6-ways-to-stop-it.
