night sweats

[Bottleforlife]

good morning everyone. I hope you are all well (as can be)

I was just wondering if anyone suffers with night sweats ? I have been for about a year now and I was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to reduce this ! I wake up soaked !

Thank you

Hello , I would speak too your GP for some advice , if it’s been going on awhile for you so proberly the best place too start 1st. I sleep warm at night but I think it’s a side effect of the medication I take , I always keep plenty of water too hydrate too, i hope you get some answers very soon .

Hi again, my late thirty s I tried telling a Male doctor I was having symptoms of pre peri menopause which of course he dismissed☹️my mum , her sister, my 2 sisters all went threw their change between 40 and 44, I finished at 44yrs so I was right all along 😉have you a female doc or female practioner at your surgery ?sometimes they are more in tune with things xx

Hey. Yes there are female GP’s there but I have already been tested for peri menopause because my mum started hers early but that came back negative. I have a mri scan coming up as they think I may have MS. This is all so exhausting. I just can’t get the answers I need 😔 xx

I do feel for you I really do , I have my fan on all year round now, and put lots of cool fluids through , but do think my tablet does play a part I read. Yes and like another member has said fibro s due have problems regulating body temp , I hope the forum helps too chat xx

I am apparently peri- menopausal and have had hot flashes day and night for a few years. I brought a coiling mat to lay on. You can get single bed size on Amazon. I have heard that fibromyalgia sufferers have problems regulating body temp too,so that can be reason

Good afternoon. That you for your advice, I am going to have a look for one.

I have been tested for peri menopause but I was told that’s not happening yet. I have heard that before as well but I don’t have any problems during the day, it all come out at night 🤷‍♀️
