Night sweats

[Joad467]

Hi can anyone help please,the last 3 nights I have woke up drenched in sweat,bedding soaked,could it be thyroid related?thanks

Hi - possibly… I got diagnosed with hashis as I had low vitamin d - which caused me night sweats - and they looked for the underlying cause and tested TSH. I’ve heard others say that low B12 can also cause night sweats… it’s worth getting these checked with the doctor, if you are able.

Thanks Lotika,I know I have low vit D have been taking high dose to try and rectify,I don't know if I have hashis as my results showed low anti bodies,it's such a pain isn't it 😅

For me, night sweats are the start of peri menopause and I’m currently trying sage supplements. Too early to say if they are any good, but my sister said they worked for her! I’ve read The Hormone Cure (Gottfried) which has lots of suggestions for dealing with symptoms related to ageing process.

I’ve found the book useful; was recommended to me on this forum when I posted on similar symptoms!

To me, that sounds like perimenopause. I am on HRT but it has some side effects (the most unpleasant one being swollen breasts on higher doses of estrogen) so I added this product recently:herbactive.co.uk/flushes-a-...

It works great, the remaining symptoms on HRT disappeared within two days.

Hi there 😀 I get night sweats most nights and I’m way past my menopause years! Mine started last year just out of the blue so I was a little concerned! I did look on the internet and it suggested I may have hypothyroidism…. So I got a blood test and was diagnosed with it. It also says lack of vit D can cause night sweats too, so I would see your Gp and if you can get your vitamin/ mineral levels done to! Mine won’t 😔Ps keep pushing your symptoms as well as my thyroxine dose is low and none of my symptoms have subsided as yet.. I have another blood test tomorrow 😀

Thank you Doris,I had tests privately said vit D low,also doctor tests said folic acid low,am taking supplements and hope things will improve,I didn't realise low vits caused night sweats, thanks for the info 👍

Did you get vitamin levels tested

Low B12 is frequently linked to night sweats

Low vitamin levels likely after inappropriately reduced levothyroxine

[Joad467 in reply to SlowDragon]

Thanks again for your reply,I do take lots of vitamins,I may need to up the B12 and D3

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to Joad467]

Request GP test B12, folate and vitamin D

[Joad467 in reply to SlowDragon]

Will do 👍

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to Joad467]

What were folate, B12 and vitamin D results

[Joad467 in reply to SlowDragon]

I was put on folate for a few months by doctor ,vit D was low so I bought a vit D,K2 supplement,thank you
