Excessive Sweating and Hormonal Imbalance: Causes & Potential Tests


Question
--Thank you
I believe my salt intake is average,but is there a test for hormonal excess and is that a health issue? Would that be male or female hormones?
Speaking of female hoemones,I carry a lot of fat on my upper chest(man boobies).Is this an indication of female hormones?-----------------------
Followup To
Question -
Dear Doctor
When I exercise,as in running,playing sports,etc.,I sweat profusely.Mostly from my head and upper body.
I am not that overweight,am in pretty good shape for my age(Male,50).
I have noticed that I sweat more than my friends,teammates,and my clothes are soaked after a session,where many of my friends sweat very little.
I find this strange because in hot weather,I sweat very little and quite enjoy the heat,when other people are sweating and complaining about the heat!
Could this indicate a medical problem such as thyroid? I only noticed this in the last couple years.Thanks.
Answer -
Thyroid would not be a likely cause but poor conditioning, hypertesion, salt excess, or hormonal excess.

Answer
I believe my salt intake is average,but is there a test for hormonal excess and is that a health issue? Yes, it can be either male, female or adrenal hormone excess.

Speaking of female hoemones,I carry a lot of fat on my upper chest(man boobies).Is this an indication of female hormones? It can either be female hormone retention due to fatty liver disease due to too much carbohydrate ingestion or too much adrenal production.
