Is it normal to have sweaty hands and a hot tummy at rest?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your query and understand your concern.

Given your symptoms and the fact that you are quite underweight for your height, there are a few reasons why you might feel this way when sitting or lying down. Sometimes, the body's automatic control system, the autonomic nervous system, can react abnormally to certain positions, leading to sweating, unusual sensations, or a warm feeling in your stomach. It could also be related to your digestion, such as acid reflux or gastritis, thyroid overactivity, vitamin deficiencies, or even anxiety.

The safest next step is to get some basic blood tests done:

1. Blood count.

2. Sugar levels.

3. Thyroid function.

4. Vitamin B12.

5. Folate.

6. Iron levels.

7. It is also worth checking your heart rhythm with an ECG (electrocardiogram) and considering a digestive check-up if your stomach is often involved.

In the meantime:

1. Stay well-hydrated and eat smaller, more frequent meals.

2. Avoid lying flat right after eating; keep your head slightly elevated.

3. Ensure you get enough calories, protein, and vitamins.

4. If your symptoms worsen during stress, try slow breathing or relaxation exercises.

If these sensations become more intense, or if you notice new symptoms like weakness or numbness, do not wait; see a doctor urgently.

I hope I have answered your question.
