I have a question could this issue be a sensory related issue. Sometimes I feel like I’m sweating on my back and front and chest but I feel myself but I’m not wet; but this especially happens when I have tighter clothing on and not looser/baggier. Or when I have a loser shirt on and don’t have a spaghetti strap under it. Any suggestions on what it might be.

This happens to me when I wear synthetics or blends.  Plain cotton or wool are okay.

Cottons. Are helpful. Alittle baggy helps too. Possibly your sympathetic nervous immune system is switching on for some reason.

I can only wear cotton. Anything else just gives me the creeps. (I can wear linen and silk too, but those are less available and more expensive.)

If the weather is cold, I can wear wool or polypro if there is cotton under it.

Texture is also important. Some textures are impossible for me to tolerate.

Cotton and some synthetics or cotton with small amount of spandex if not too snug . Cotton fleece has worked in
My fav our . Some cotton blend micro fibers can be as comfy as cotton fleece . You use fabric softener enough times on blue jean s and even they soften up.

Tighter clothing can make it more difficult for air molecules (moving at 1000 feet per second) to take up water molecules from your skin. While given the humidity in your location, you probably do not accumulate enough moisture to be noticeably damp (sweat), however, your skin may be sensitive enough to notice the slight increase in moisture.

1000 feet per second (fps) is about 681.8 miles per hour!

1000 fps = 60,000 fpm = 3,600,000 feet per hour (fph)

There are 5280 feet per mile (fpm), so:

3,600,000 fph / 5280 fpm = 681.8 mph
