What are Cold Sweats?
Cold sweats are a physical reaction where an individual experiences sudden perspiration without heat, often triggered by stress, fear, anxiety, or withdrawal from substances like alcohol or opioids. This symptom is frequently seen during the detoxification process as the body adjusts to the absence of drugs or alcohol.
Cold sweats can also occur in response to panic attacks, trauma, or severe pain, and may be accompanied by other symptoms such as chills or dizziness.
