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 theyre stressful situations for people who suffer from chronic sweaty palms. Thats 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 its possible to stop the excessive hand sweating with a surgical procedure which involves severing a nerve in the chest.
