People with atherosclerosis may notice more sweating than usual in themselves. It typically occurs where coronary artery disease forms from atherosclerosis. Excessive sweating is another common symptom among heart patients. Because of low blood supply to the heart, excessive sweating is present in the body.
Excessive sweating can happen at night, at rest, and during exercise, depending on cardiac function status. This is generally accompanied by other symptoms like arrhythmias and breathlessness, which lead to sweating. Sudden sweating — often called cold sweats — can also be an early warning sign of a heart attack. Myocardial infarction is typically also associated with crushing chest pains and other features.
