Night Sweats Please Help!!!!!!?

For the past 4 months i have been suffering from night sweats , it is so embaressing i wake up dripping and the bedding is soaked through, i don%26#039;t where pj%26#039;s and the heating is never on in our bedroom, we even have a window open. I am 26 years old so i don%26#039;t think i have the menopause (well hope not) i have been on the combined pill for 9 years so periods are regular although lately i have been coming on 5 days earlier than usual. I feel a little tired than usual but put that down to it being winter. I have been taking oil evening primrose for years too so thats not helping. Does anyone have any advice or shall i go to the doctor?

Even if someone on here claims to know the answer, you must go to your doctor!
Reply:Go get yourself a doctor, it may be a viral infection.
Reply:i would go and see a doctor just to be sure
Reply:women in menopause usually suffer from night sweats. why men experience night sweats is still a medical mystery.
Reply:Go to Doctor .It could be anything including pill///////////////
Reply:Check with the doctor. Also, check if you are hypoglycemic. Low blood sugar would cause this.
Reply:thats a good question allthough i dont have a answer for u but i notice too i get really hot while in bed i mean i dont really drip in sweat but for some reason it can be cold all through the house and as soon as i lay in bed im really hot and i never really sleep with the covers on

Reply:I would go to the doctor. It could be your pills making you sweat. I had the same problem about 5 months ago and they had to switch my anti depressants. They also will do blood tests to check for cancer and such. They will also make you take a pregnancy test just to be certain. Good luck
Reply:Go to the doctor it could be several different things!


Check out Cushings and Acromegaly to see if you have other symptoms of them because doctors usually do not catch them or not for a long times after years of suffering.
Reply:Women can get menapause at any age. There are some women who get it in there twenties and thirty%26#039;s. You might want to check with a gyne.
Reply:go to the gp hun my friend went threw the meno , early 26 so just go see its probably not but u neva know
Reply:Go to your doctor. It sounds almost like menopause but you sound almost too young for that. I had a friend who went through menopause in her 30%26#039;s. So go to your doctor.
Reply:I%26#039;ve noticed this problem from time to time, too. Nowhere near as extreme as yourself - but I do notice that, sometimes, I%26#039;ve got so hot in the night, the pillowslip is slightly stained with the hair dye I use!!!


But, what I have learned, over a period of time, is that when this happens, I have usually %26#039;crashed%26#039; - I%26#039;ve been very tired indeed and have gone into deep sleep.


Having said that, its worth being cautious because %26#039;night sweats%26#039; can be an indication of %26#039;sleep apnoea%26#039; - which is when your airway is temporarily constricted, such that you literally stop breathing momentarily until your brain %26#039;instructs%26#039; your body to gasp for breath.


This can happen many many times in a night - almost none of which you%26#039;ll remember. (Except you might be aware that you go to the toilet more often at night than you used to - because you%26#039;ve been prompted into a more wakeful state and so have registered a need to go more easily...)


Sufferers usually %26#039;snore%26#039; - I suspect thats what happens with me (so very tired I start snoring sometimes!) - and that can mean a narrowing of the airway...


Obesity, sedative use and alcohol are said to be potential factors, as is high blood pressure and diabetes. (However NOT hypoglycaemia - low blood sugar - as suggested by another answer)


You do seem to have a big problem with it, waking up literally %26#039;soaked%26#039; and there many other factors - and potential risks. It is well worth it to discuss it with your doctor, who (as well as checking your general health and the risk factors already mentioned) may suggest the use of monitoring equipment for a night or two to check what is happening. (Do you have a partner? Aware of what you do at night? Could give clues...)


People with this condition do not remember those moments when they jolted into semi-wakefulness - but might well be aware that they are not sleeping as well as they used to, perhaps feeling real fatigue during the day. They just haven%26#039;t had any restorative sleep...


I hope this is some help to you - and wish you well.
Reply:I think you should get checked out by the doctor anyway. Most night sweats are absolutely nothing but there are some conditions where sweats are a factor.





I used to experience really bad night sweats but I found that taking Milk Thistle brought them to and end really quickly. It%26#039;s worth a try.
Reply:when you go to your doctor for a check up, include an hiv test. just to be certain. good luck and GOD bless you
