One of my friends asked me earlier today about cold sweats and how she hates them because she's asked so many people about them and feels like she's the only one who has them right now. I mentioned that today we discussed thermoregulation, and she asked about cold sweats. I knew they existed, but I thought they were linked as a sign of an infection or disease. After researching it a little bit more, I realized that her response might be a stress or hormonal response rather than an infection or a heart attack (heart attack being from Google AI - never use this for information). This stress response is cool because sweating is typically a response to your body temperature being too high, and allowing your body to release body heat. However, in this sense, there is nothing your body needs to release. Such a weird thing to think about, since a cold sweat is just a stress response, but can also be a sign of SO many other things. They are literally cold-sweating as we speak.
