Best Life Online

People sweat for many different reasons, such as exercise, heat, anger, feeling pressure, fever, drinking coffee, and when the body is fighting an infection, just to name a few. Infections, like pneumonia, can leave people feeling cold and chilled, yet warm with profuse sweating at the same time, where the skin feels clammy to the touch. Although sweating is one of the body’s reactions to fighting off a fever and bringing high temperatures down, it can also be a sign of serious infections and medical conditions, such as sepsis. If you notice that you have chills and any of these other symptoms, see a doctor right away before it can become something that can put your life in actual danger.
