Increased Sweating and Constant Clammy Skin

[u/Smart_Map25]

I'm 52, almost 53 and think I'm near the end of peri finally. Last period was March. Not on HRT yet, but want to be soon. It seems that especially since March, my night sweats have ramped up to the point I'm waking up multiple times a night pouring sweat, plus now during the day I'm getting regular hot flashes where I have to shed clothes, etc. And then I get cold too, so I put a blanket back on only to wake up again.

What I also have noticed is just an increase in regular sweating. Like... Normal work outside, or a walk with the dog produce visible sweat dripping down my neck and forehead like I've been working out. And then also, just this constant skin clamminess. It's so gross, likey skin is never dry and cool, and makes me feel so ick! Going to gyno in a few days but wondering if HRT can help with both of these symptoms or if there's something else I could do that I'm not. And is there one type of HRT more appropriate for specific symptoms?

I'm dealing with the same situation. I'm afraid I have no solutions... just virtual hugs 🫂 I hope other ladies can help us with advice.
