What causes constant sweat at nights?

[Prayeristhekey]

[ftorres18]

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.

[Prayeristhekey in reply to Hollygreen]

Thank you so much. I keep mentioning it to my GP but it's been ignored. Yes I have to change several times for the night. I will go back and insist that they address this annoying issue. Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. All responses are very valid and valued. Have a wonderful day

if they are drenching night sweats the6 should never be ignored, even with fibro!

[Scooterz2]

menopause ?

[Prayeristhekey in reply to Scooterz2]

Didn't think I'd experience menopause at age 73. Don't know. Thanks for your thought.

[Scooterz2 in reply to Prayeristhekey]

Sorry didn’t know your age. I hope you get to the bottom of it soon though!

[Prayeristhekey in reply to Scooterz2]

No problem. Thank you for your kind support 🙏❤️

I sweat loads every night since being overweight

[Prayeristhekey in reply to Flipper12345yellow]

I'll look into that. Thank you

[Flipper12345yellow in reply to Prayeristhekey]

Along with all the meds and inflammation from my any other conditions I think being overweight only adds to this .I bought a natural mattress, only cotton bedding and leave vent open on window but still wake up sweating.

I sympathise

[Prayeristhekey in reply to Flipper12345yellow]

Tank you for your kind support. Much appreciated.

[dianebrown707]

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

[Prayeristhekey in reply to dianebrown707]

Thank-you. You are so appreciated. Hope it settes for us all

[Confused01]

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 .

[Prayeristhekey in reply to Confused01]

You are so correct. Thank you for your kind input.

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?

[Prayeristhekey in reply to fmlife]

Thank you for your input. Very appreciative
