Does anyone experience night sweats?

My 34 year ols boyfriend as been waking up in the night drenched in cold sweat. I have asked him if he is having a bad dream or if he is hot and the answer is always no, or I don't remember. He hasn't any illnesses that would make me think it is medical, but he has HUGE amounts of stress in his life right now. Has anyone else experienced night sweats during times of stress? If so, did they go away when things became calmer?

It sounds like to me that he has something called "CANDIDA".


In short both men and women have yest in there systems. There is good and bad yest. When the bad out numbers the good then we begin to see signs. One of them is horrible night sweats.


My wife use to drench the bed before she was correctly diagnosed with candida.





There will lie your problem. Most doctors have either never heard of it or the have been taught that it doesn't truly exists.


The sight below is just one that I found. I have not read through it however there are tons of sights out there.





In short try to get a prescription of "DIFLUCAN" from his Dr. and then have him stay away from simply sugars. The medican is an anti-fungal medication. Have him start eating things like multi grain breads not white. Stay away from sugar coated things like cereals. Stay away from putting sugar on things, use Splenda instead. Sugar in any form (almost anything white veggies, potato's, breads, fruits) will allow the bad yest to grow. When he gets his system balanced then he will be able to eat these things in moderation.





Also, he really should meet my mom. She could show him what 40 years if smoking will get you...emphysema!!! He really needs to stop. Please tell him not to smoke around you or any babies of any age.





Personal note: Yes, my wife smokes too...forbidden around any family members though. However, here is something that will help with the cough. STOP buying the packs from the store. Do to financial reasons several years ago, my wife was forced to go to one of those 'Cheap Tobacco' stores where you buy them tobacco and make your own. Well, we noticed about 2 weeks later that her cough had almost completely disappeared and she said that her urges where greatly decreased (so was our monthly bill)!!! We pay around $22 for tobacco and sleeves (the machine was a one time fee of $60.00 - there are cheaper ones) and that will make 3 CARTONS which here in OH would cost us around $115.00!!! That is a $93.00 SAVINGS, plus she seems healthier. I say it just goes to show you that the big companies ARE putting additives in the tobacco.





I wish you and him the Best of Luck!





Do some research and your local library will have FREE reading material on this subject (candida) that is where we found it and researched it. Your only about a week away from a dry bed!

does he also have a cough? night sweats are classic indications of Tuberculosis, he may want to get tested.
Reply:I use to get them when my thyroid medication wasn't right. But now that my thyroid is stable I don't have that side effect anymore. Maybe have doctor do some blood tests.

Reply:Dunno if this helps but i am a (pretty) healthy, male 28y-o and i sweat like mad every night. its worse in the summer but i still sweat in the winter too. i just always thought i was a "hot sleeper" and figured i just give off a lot of heat all the time anyway. i think its pretty damn normal, just a pain to wash the linens all the time.
