normal sweating - but please see explanation
This is a rather strange word and not commonly used, but means that the patient had "normal sweating". This is not something you would see in an English medical report. We might remark if the patient is sweating excessively or has clammy (moist) skin, but not the absence of these observations.
In this case, you could perhaps say the patient was not sweating excessively - or "no excessive sweating".

sweating vs perspiration
The latter is NOT more scientific by any means. For proof, do a google book search on physiology + sweating and compare with physiology + perspiration. Look at the dates of the publications.

normal/physiological perspiration
perspiration is more commonly used than sweating.
I agree with SJLD that is it not often seen in general medical PE reports; it would be more common in neuro reports, for example where they may measure perspiration with objective neurophysiological methods--in cases of autonomic failure; in this case it would be hypo( not enough) perspiration. Thus, I would not recommend "no excessive sweating" but rather the more general "normal or physiological perspiration"

SJLD
: "perspiration" is just a more "socially acceptable" word for sweating, which is the correct physiological term - we have sweat glands after all, not perspiration glands/perspiration is more scientific? see note in my answer

both terms are correct, only perspiration is used more often in scientific papers

: ...IMHO, both lirka's and SJLD's translation solutions are acceptable...
