Night Sweats
Hello, I am a 24 year old female. I recently engaged in protected sex. I have always had low blood sugar or thryoid issues, problems such as heat intolerance, hand tremors, excessive sweating, tingling in lips and fingers, dizziness, fainting etc.
I am currently taking a mood stabilizer Lamictal as well as Zoloft at fairly high dosages due to EXTREME anxiety issues with hypochondria.
I recently went through about a week with sweating at night. I'd wake up and my body would be slippery with sweat and the sheets were damp (not drenched) I didn't need to change sheets or even move to the other side of the bed. There were no other symptoms accompanied with these, no fever, no swollen glands and I woke up feeling fine.
Is this cause for concern? Should I relax?...I just want to know at what point does sweating at night warrant a doctor visit. Thanks for your time!!

Thanks for the response Teak. I know you aren't a specialist in other fields, lol, but do you by chance know other reasons for random bouts of night sweats other than infection or illness?
