Sweating during the night

[ion_ion]

During the last few months I'm sweating during the night. I'm waking about 3-4 am with my T-shirt completely wet. I change and after that I'm okay. I have no fever or other pneumonia symptoms.

Is this other PD symptom?

Did you have any changes to your medications or supplements recently?

[ion_ion in reply to Kia17]

No. But I went through some stressful moments.

This is not an uncommon PD symptom. I do believe it's the autonomic nervous system that is in charge of cooling us and warming us and it tends to go haywire with PD.

I don't know if that is the cause of your night sweats but I've heard of other people for whom PD was the cause.

Yes I have the same issue, on a cold night I start sweating in the early hours and I assume it's from Parkinson's.

Hi

I suffered for a few years with the same sweating problem Almost every night assume it’s PD related

Since taking B1 it has stopped so will keep taking it

I don't have parkinson's but have night sweats anyway. Maybe it's not your PD causing it.

This night sweating thing seems pretty common, I know I certainly have had it in the last few years and more often as the years go by, I think it is definitely a PD phenomenon, but that does not mean other things don't also cause it. Don't see much particular pattern to it. Muscarinic receptors (mu) are involved, any med dealing with arousal can be such as anything involving amphetamine molecules...such as many antidepressants including those that touch on dopaminergic and serotogenergic (serotogenergic meds will often be described as "anticholinergic") systems can be involved. If stress produces arousal mechanisms (sweating is part of general arousal in your sympathetic nervous response system and it is part of how many anti-depresssants work) then like bp and heart rate and breathing, sweating can be involved too)...Over time it seems to me that B1 can reduce the effect some. I think that xanax also reduces it, but xanax is a powerful anxiolytic that reduces blood flow in the skeletal muscles and thus also imposes a definite "cooling" or anti-flushing, and has a fairly strong sedative effect so it's really only for strong anxiety).

My husband who has PD has the same problem. Understand PD effects the body’s temperature control so he swings between overheating and. chilled . Just one of the many problems he has ...
