I had crazy hyperhidrosis (facial and underarm) on and years after SNRI/SSRI usage. Cold showers helped a bit and shaving everything may have. Eventually got better. Still there on stimulants at times, and in the hot summer months with humidity. I think its a lot better though. There is drysol, but I'm sure that's toxic. Possibly linked to Alzheimer's and such, so I never stuck with it. Still there but was way way worse. And it's been months since I had it. Cutting off alcohol and smoking (only used occasionally).

The long fast cured mine. Armpits used to be soaked 24/7, always dry now.

Check your:
-blood glucose level
-insulin blood level
Low glucose and high insulin trigger sweating
Ps. Do those labs at once.

Wouldn't shock me give that more often than not my body is tensed up all the time (i.e. fight or flight).
Don't want to jinx anything here, but I took into account the adrenaline factor @TubZy mentioned along with @ruprmurdoch comments about glucose.
I read that in the absence of proper levels of glucose, the body will generate more adrenaline (which creates more cortisol). So the last couple of days I have been very mindful of supplementing again with Dextrose. I've even been drinking a glass of orange juice when I get home from the gym at night.
So far very little underarm sweat the past couple of days. In fact, work it has been very stressful today (especially while I keep tabs on my stock market positions). Normally on a day like this I would be pitting quite noticeable.

thing is that maybe you have to high level of insulin
check at once insulin and fasting glucose

So I'm going to back track off my glucose comments.
It appears as though Milk Thistle is what has somehow miraculously resolved the issue. Not sure of the mechanics, all I know is I had been supplementing it at the same time as increasing my glucose intake. I ran out of it for a couple of days and my perspiration increased a bit. Finally bought a new batch and it's resolved again.
