Night Sweats

I'm 19 years old. Lately, more specifically for the past month or so, I have been waking up in the middle of the night soaked in sweat, and i find myself having to change my shirt upon returning to bed. It has literally only been a month since I've started experiencing these night sweats! it has been occuring 3 or 4 times a week. Should I be concerned? I have heard from several people that nightsweats are quite common with people my age entering adulthood. I had never suffered from night sweats until literally just a month ago.

Hi, usually night sweats does occur as in ill ventilated, warm weather, excessive clothing, late night snacks & coffee, alcohol, spicy food, some drugs etc where you need to correct such triggering factors and proper hydration maintanance. At your age, anxiety coupled with late night bed practice can also be possibility. You need also to be sure of not suffering from low grade fever or any other cause of concern by seeking proper medical attention. If you continue same for some more time, do see your physician for check up. Bye.

Hi.

The night sweats are common. There are certain factors that contribute to it. Some factors are warm room temperature and anxiety. Do you think you are being more anxious these days ? If there are no other symptoms, these are the two most likely causes.

You will do well to consult a physician for this complaint.

Regards
