Hello.
Sweating hands is one of the symptoms of hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating compared to normal physiology). Hyperhidrosis can be secondary (not caused by any disease in the body) or primary, which is common in people with hyperthyroidism.
Chest pain can be a sign of many different diseases. If the chest pain is transient, it is only a small symptom of common diseases such as indigestion. However, if chest tightness occurs continuously, related to exertion, repeated with increasing intensity, it is likely to be a sign of particularly dangerous diseases such as: Cardiovascular, pulmonary pleural disease or chest wall disease.
Of which, chest pain due to cardiovascular disease is the most life-threatening. Therefore, you should go to reputable medical centers to be examined and diagnosed by a doctor to determine the cause of the disease.
