Profuse sweating is a symptom of anxiety.

I think that it is fair to say that PVDS was in a stressful situation regardless. And it is possible that he has an underlying anxiety disorder. In any case, there are other possible explanations other than ''He was lying.''

Anxiety symptoms: For no apparent reason you break into hot or cold sweats. You may also experience hot flashes or excessive sweating for no reason. These sweating periods are more frequent and uncontrollable when under stress or in stressful or important situations such as family gatherings, business meetings, or social situations.

When my teens are out driving at night and a few minutes late, my symptoms of anxiety include uncontrollable shaking, pacing, and holding my head with my hands. One time my daughter was an hour late. I was looking out the window and saw her pull into the drive. So relieved she was home safe, all I could do was hug her. She could feel me shivering and understood right then the stress I had been experiencing. She's never been late since.
