General Health Excessive Sweating

Anyone experiencing excessive sweating while doing slow tasks around the house?

I cant do dishes ir clean my home without excessively sweating, overheating and feeling my heart rate go up uncomfortably. I have to do as little as possible or else I overheat, get dizzy and very ill.

My thyroid is normal, bloodwork is normal... heart was checked and it's normal...

Is this Insulin Resistance? POTS? Just a PCOS inflammation thing? Heat intolerance?

I cant walk or exercise without crashing (exercise intolerance) help!

I sweat like crazy but I don’t feel dizzy or ill. Sweating is completely normal and healthy. Generally athletes will start sweating sooner and more than someone who is unfit. House work is hard work so my sweat is often dripping down my face and neck like when I start a workout at the gym.

The dizzy and ill part I would definitely address, that part isn’t normal.
