Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose sweaty palms, we could:

Research the topic
Find a doctor with the time
Use a diagnostic computer system.

The process is the same, whichever method is used.

Step 1: List all Possible Causes

We begin by identifying the disease conditions which have "sweaty palms" as a symptom. Here are eight of many possibilities (more below):

Low Estrogens
Guillain-Barre Syndrome
High Female Testosterone
Stress
Kidney Disease
Hypoglycemia
Lymphatic Congestion
Hyperthyroidism

Step 2: Build a Symptom Checklist

We then identify all possible symptoms and risk factors of each possible cause, and check the ones that apply:

jaundiced skin

specific muscle weakness

much reduced sense of smell

short-term memory failure

being lean or underweight

very strong appetite

weak sexual desire

poor tolerance of sugars

strong-smelling urine

sexual abuse during childhood

swollen cervical nodes

constant bowel movement changes

... and more than 150 others

Step 3: Rule Out or Confirm each Possible Cause

A differential diagnosis of your symptoms and risk factors finds the likely cause of sweaty palms:

Cause	Probability	Status
Guillain-Barre Syndrome	92%	Confirm
High Female Testosterone	24%	Unlikely
Hyperthyroidism	14%	Unlikely
Low Estrogens	3%	Ruled out
Kidney Disease	0%	Ruled out
Stress	0%	Ruled out
Lymphatic Congestion	0%	Ruled out
Hypoglycemia	0%	Ruled out

* This is a simple example to illustrate the process

Arriving at a Correct Diagnosis

The Analyst™ is our online diagnosis tool that learns all about you through a straightforward process of multi-level questioning, providing diagnosis at the end.

In the Minor Symptoms section of the questionnaire, The Analyst™ will ask the following question about sweaty palms:

Do the palms of your hands sweat excessively?

Possible responses:

→ No / don't know
→ Slight problem for less than 1 year
→ Slight problem for more than 1 year
→ Major problem for less than 1 year
→ Major problem for more than 1 year

Based on your response to this question, which may indicate sweaty palms, chronic sweaty palms, severe sweaty palms or chronic severe sweaty palms, The Analyst™ will consider possibilities such as:

Excessive Sweating

Excessive Sweating also suggests the following possibilities:

Chronic Fatigue / Fibromyalgia Syndrome

Estrogens Low

Guillain-Barre Syndrome

High Female Testosterone Level

Histadelia (Histamine High)

Hyperthyroidism

Hypoglycemia

Kidney Disease

Lymphatic Congestion

Stress
