Night sweats

[AH31]

I have noticed this week I have woken up with water on my back and chest.

My hair is wet and my bedding is too. I am in my sixth week of recovery since having open heart surgery, valve replacement.

Has anyone else experienced this, I have only noticed it this week.

No, I haven’t had anything similar. Would flag with your cardiac nurse as I used to get this due to a white blood cell deficiency so could be that you have a slight infection. Let us know how you get on. X

Thankyou for the link

I have noticed the night sweats for the past few days, today I feel tired out of breath walking but it could be because it’s really windy here. Plus I don’t feel very hungry, infact abit nausea and I have a lump in my cheek that is causing me discomfort too. They all appeared on Monday evening.

It turns out I have an infected gum and erupted wisdom tooth.

I have antibiotics and the tooth will have to be taken out

I had Pericardial effusion after my OHS, which was noticed about a month after the operation at my check up, and did take a few months to reverse.

I didn't have night sweats, but I did get breathless when I was walking.

As with the other people I would get yourself to the doctors ASAP.
