If you have cold sweats without any exertion or exercise, this could indicate a warning signal from the heart. Normally you sweat to regulate your body temperature. However, when a person sweats to an excessive degree, the heart tries to pump narrow arteries and it becomes problematic to flush the whole body.

As soon as these signs appear along with other symptoms, you should make an immediate visit to the hospital. In addition to this, it is important to know that cold sweats can be caused by infections, cancer, brain diseases, medication or stress, for example.
