Secondary Hyperhidrosis Causes. Sweating from secondary hyperhidrosis is different from primary hyperhidrosis in that it tends to happen all over or in one general area instead of on the hands, underarms, face, or feet. Unlike primary hyperhidrosis, this type is more likely to cause sweating during sleep. And in this case, there is something thatâs causing hyperhidrosis: a medical condition or a medication. A number of medical conditions have the potential to cause hyperhidrosis.
