If you haven't had any med changes recently that could cause the excessive sweating, it could be you're starting perimenopause. And stress alone can interrupt a normal monthly cycle.
Best to check with your gyn, though. I was in a similar situation (with migraine headaches added in just for kicks) 2 years ago, and my doc put me on a birth control pill - for the first time in my life! - and it has certainly helped, though it took trying many different types before we found one with the least side effects.
Both my sister and I started this phase of our lives relatively early (age 40). It makes puberty seem like a lark.
