Palmer hyperhidrosis or Hand Sweating can be the result of both environmental and emotional factors. Like blushing, palmer hyperhidrosis or excessive hand sweating can begin when a person is nervous. The worst types of Hand Sweating result when no significant environmental or emotional issues are present—hand sweating results regardless of the situation. By and large, hand sweating does have a direct relationship with a stimulus. So to not have sweaty hands or to alleviate hand sweating you should eliminate certain stimuli.

Unfortunately, this is not always possible. If you suffer from extreme Hand Sweating or Palmer hyperhidrosis, you may think about avoiding public speaking or nerve-racking situations, but it does not always make sense to completely alter your personal or professional life. Therefore, you should eradicate the symptom of sweaty hands and not the stimulus of palmer hyperhidrosis. The main cure for hand sweating can often cure both the sweaty hands as well as how the body reacts to certain stimuli.

One of the more advantageous side effects to ETS surgery—the main surgery to alleviate sweaty hands or Hand Sweating—is it slows down the heart rate. The result is that people will be calmer in stressful situations. Extreme palpitations of the heart that can result in stage fright will also be affected by ETS surgery. So the surgery is effective in controlling both sweaty hands and the nervousness that originally caused hand sweating to occur. Even if you suffer from Palmer hyperhidrosis, this side effect is beneficial. Other beneficial side effects of the ETS surgery are a reduction in headaches.

ETS surgery for Hand Sweating or palmer hyperhidrosis has potential negative side effects as in other surgery. The most common are gustatory sweating: sweating after eating certain foods. In addition, there may be compensatory sweating in other areas of the body, though often this is preferable to hand sweating. The most dangerous side effects are damage to the lung caused by the rupture of a cyst during surgery. Another complication is Horner’s syndrome: a drooping of the eyelid resulting from the damage of the T1 ganglion.

This tells you that ETS should be performed by a skilled surgeon. The above complications are not a result of the surgery itself, but the poorly performed surgery. A skilled surgeon performs ETS surgery without damaging T1 ganglion or affecting lungs. Even if problems do manifest, they are treatable and the effects should subside within a few weeks.
