| Do any of you ladies have any ideas for dealing with night sweats. Between the dog that likes to sleep curled into my legs, and my DH who loves to cuddle in sleep but sleeps at about 300 degrees. I'm roasting every night. I am hoping to end these nasty night sweats some day, but there's no telling how much longer they will last. I've already had them for over five years, so I'm hopeful the end is near. The dog is a new wrinkle in the problem, and he jumps up on the bed after we fall asleep. I can't put him in another room, because he is a rescue and has some serious abandonment issues. Thanks for any help I could get! |

Maybe make sure your blood glucose level is below 110 in the mornings. |
| 5 years is a long time to have consistent night sweats. There can be medical factors triggering this. Hypoglycemia was already mentioned. Other causes include medications, menopause, hormone or neurological conditions, infections, and cancer. Generally, you would display other symptoms with most of these. If you are concerned I would consult your healthcare provider. Two other possibilities are idiopathic hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) or you are just becoming overheated in bed. Dealing with idiopathic hyperhidrosis is frustrating, but you would likely sweat more profusely during the day to suggest this. I would really recommend a consult if you feel that this is beyond becoming overheated a night. You might find a solution and some piece of mind. |
