SWEATY PALMS ARE NO LAUGHING MATTER



BRONX, N.Y. (Wireless Flash) – Shaking hands or turning a doorknob may be a piece of cake for you – but they’re stressful situations for people who suffer from chronic sweaty palms. That’s according to Dr. Steven M. Keller, a surgeon who treats patients suffering from a sweaty hand condition known as “hyperhidrosis.” He recently polled his patients and found on a stress scale from one to 10, they rate activities like shaking hands a 7.3. However, there is hope. Dr. Keller says it’s possible to stop the excessive hand sweating with a surgical procedure which involves severing a nerve in the chest.
