My symptoms are simply that I keep sweating if I am in a hot
environment and usually when eating a meal. Last night for
example, I was at a Christmas dinner party and sitting at a table
with eleven other people of various ages and fitness levels. One
chap there has high cholesterol and high blood pressure for which
he takes a prescribed drug.  

The problem is, I was sweating profusely, esp my forehead and
underarms, while everyone else looked quite comfortable. I also
occasionally sweat at night, but only around my neck, chest and
top of the shoulders. This is the only symptom I can think of,
but it is becoming very uncomfortable,

I had a serious RTA a couple of years ago, which resulted in nine
broken ribs, a broken sternum, a lung infection which led to a
collapsed lung. I later contracted septicaemia in the hospital
and I was kept unconscious for one entire month. This has got me
wondering if perhaps my blood circulation is poor?

Obesity is probably the most common cause of excessive sweating. What is
your BMI (body mass index)? http://nhlbisupport.com/bmi/bmicalc.htm .

Checked many books without finding an answer to the riddle that sets
building indoor  temperature to 72 degrees F.

About 28 according to that site.

Being overweight is contributing, I'm sure, but other factors may be at
work.  Look at http://tinyurl.com/3j5kf  - see where you fit into that
information matrix.
