The ABC Homeopathy Forum

Dear sameer

Hi sameer i was wondering if you could help me find a remedy that suits my symptons. Below is a detailed view of my condition

I have constant red cheeks and flush easily. I also have sweaty palms and feet and sweat easily. My condition (red cheeks and sweating become worse on exposure to hot/cold/alcohol/exercise). even light exercise worsens my condition. When i flush easily my head becomes hot instantly and my sweating can increase. I am a shy person who fears daily chores ie. being in a crowd, meeting people, getting on trains because of flushing. I feel best when alone or sleeping and my condition appears to become worse as the day goes on. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone knows of a homeopathic remedy for these symptons.

More details which may be useful are
