Cold Sweats or Male Menopause?

by julio, Apr 28, 2000 12:00AM
For the past 6 months I've been having cold sweats specifically around my head and foreheard during my sleep.  I have been having panic attacks and I'm taking Zoloft for my bi-polar disorder.  However lately Ive been getting them during the day as well sometimes bringing hot and cold flashes.  What could be the cause?  I know women get these during menopause and they are treated with hormones.  What about males can this be male menopause?
Thanks
Julio

You may want to consult your physician to rule out any physical cause of your cold sweats.
However, Zoloft lists increase in sweating as one of its side effects.
