I don’t think its a medical question per se, but I’m not sure how common it is.

So why do I start sweating profusely after chugging liquid? It can be hot/cold/room temp and anything from water to coffee to soda, same thing happens if I chug a glass/bottle of around a pint which is profuse sweating for a short while.
