10 Signs of Kidney Stones
10. Profuse Sweating
Sweating is a normal event for most of us. It is a useful way to dissipate heat and maintain normal body temperature. During exercise, the increased muscle activity causes the body to become increasingly hot. As a thermoregulatory mechanism, we start to sweat to cool down. There are many scenarios where a person might start to sweat without being physically active. Some of these scenarios are normal and others can be associated with many conditions.
During the peak of renal colic, it is quite normal for a person to start sweating profusely. This is a common finding due to the excruciating pain associated with kidney stones. Other symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and tachycardia are also common.
