What do you mean by "fair health"? Do you have liver or kidney failure? These are two immediate causes that come to mind. Have you talked with your doctor?
Reply:have you thought to ask your doctor I don't think that this is something you should be asking strangers to answer call your doctor and ask him you are 45 after all you should know better
Reply:sometimes you body will let out some alcohol throught the sweat glands have you had a lot to drink in the past week or so? well if so that could be what it is
Reply:You may have diabetes acidosis, get tested. People with diabetes have "sweet" smelling sweat.





This is quite serious and can rapidly lead to shock so I'd get a diabetes check NOW.
