What causes constant sweat at nights?
I completely understand how you feel because I experience the same thing, and I can assure you that dealing with constant night sweats is both frustrating and exhausting. These symptoms can be common for people with fibromyalgia, but they may also be related to other factors. Here’s some helpful information based on your situation and a few suggestions that might assist you.Possible Causes of Night Sweats:
1. Temperature Regulation Issues:
It’s common for people with fibromyalgia to struggle with regulating their body temperature.
2. Medications:
Certain medications, such as antidepressants or pain relievers, can cause night sweats as a side effect.
3. Hormonal Imbalances:
Conditions like menopause, thyroid issues, or stress can be triggering factors.
4. Underlying Medical Conditions:
Issues like infections, sleep apnea, or diabetes could also be responsible.
Possible Solutions to Try:
1. Consult a Doctor:
Discuss your symptoms and possible underlying causes with a healthcare professional. If you’re on medication, check whether it might be contributing to the problem, and ask if adjustments can be made.
2. Improve Your Sleep Environment:
◇ Use breathable clothing and bedding materials, such as cotton or linen.
◇ Consider using a fan or air conditioning to keep your bedroom cool, even in winter.
◇ Avoid hot drinks, heavy meals, or alcohol before bedtime, as they can worsen night sweats.
◇ Personally, I keep my bedroom window open all year round. It helps maintain a cool environment, which somewhat alleviates the night sweats.
3. Relaxation Techniques:
Try practices like meditation, deep breathing, or gentle yoga before bed to reduce stress.
A warm bath before bedtime can help regulate your body temperature.
4. Explore Complementary Therapies: Some people find acupuncture, reflexology, or relaxing massages beneficial. While results aren’t guaranteed, these therapies could be worth exploring.
Remember:
You’re not alone in this, and while finding the right solution might take time, the important thing is that you have options and support. If you have more questions or need additional guidance, feel free to ask in the group—there’s always someone willing to help. Stay strong! 👍🙏💪
Thank you so much for your response. I truly grateful. I sweat more when it's cold. That's more concerning. If it was heat then I would understand. I try to keep warm, I don't sweat but can't tolerate the warmth, vicious cycle. I must say, sometimes I have warm drinks so I will definitely leave that out. Thanks again for your help. Kindest regardsPrayeristhekey
Hi p is the key, do you think you might have hipohydrosis or is it hyperhidrosis? I've got severe but intermittent hypohidroais. I perspire so profusely that I have to remove all my clothes immediately. If I cannot do that, I will be living in wet cold cloth from head to toe. The kindly GP gives me roll ons to keep it at bay but I'm nervous about trying the medication.
if they are drenching night sweats the6 should never be ignored, even with fibro!
menopause ?
Didn't think I'd experience menopause at age 73. Don't know. Thanks for your thought.
Sorry didn’t know your age. I hope you get to the bottom of it soon though!
No problem. Thank you for your kind support 🙏❤️
I sweat loads every night since being overweight
I'll look into that. Thank you
Hi I feel for you I'm constantly sweating day and night, it's horrible fibro does make you sweat and medications eg amitripyline and duloxetine which I take. X
Hi,
GP should be doing full blood count tests at minimum, to start with and go from there.
Dr’s should never put something down as presumed fibromyalgia, they must treat the new symptoms as individual until tests .
temperature also normally increases with infection,
or body response in cleansing,
meds
and also a need for the loo for a departure, if experienced food poisoning (hopefully not) or ibs may find get hot before departure
all sensors misaligned, a bath of a constant temp may help or not.
sleep or no sleep can do weird stuff.
fleece pj's seem to help regulate for me, cotton seems too cold,
do you take vitamins?
