Understanding Your Score

Your Overall Health Check Score

The Hyperhidrosis Health Score was created by a team of medical experts at WebMD to help men and women who have hyperhidrosis or related symptoms better understand how factors related to their condition and treatment can impact their life.

The Health Score reflects the current status of health; something that is not always within control of the patient. The answers to some questions will affect both Health and Well-Being scores.

A Hyperhidrosis Health Check Score of:

23 to 30

Generally reflects a person with an overall healthy state. The person may have some minor symptoms of hyperhidrosis, but the symptoms are controlled and are not significantly impacting their everyday activities.

8 to 22

Generally reflects a person whose symptoms are moderate and somewhat affecting their everyday activities.

Less than 8

Generally reflects a person whose symptoms are severe and significantly affecting their everyday activities.
