Night sweats can also be a symptom of some very serious illnesses. Prior to my diagnosis of non-hodgkins lymphoma I started having night sweats. I researched the possible causes and decided I didn't want any of them. I waited and a few months later a lump came up over my left collar bone. The biopsy came up NHL. I'm 71 and female. Hopefully yours IS caused by menopause. You are within the correct age range. Unfortunately because you ARE within that range, your doctor, treating you statistically may not look hard for other causes.
      Every time I mention to my cancer doctor that I've had another night sweat, he pops me into a cat scanner. So far, so good, but had I gone in at the outset of the night sweats, it might not have spread to my chest and abdomen. Can you persuade your doctor to give you a 3mm.(or narrower) cat scan? I really wish you could.
      Don,t go by statistics. Statistically, my husband should be dead. He had AML so bad by the time he was diagnosed that the doctor couldn't aspirate his bone marrow and had to take a bone core instead. He went through 3 months of chemo, a month on, a month off. 15 years later he is considered truly cured.
      Stay mentally firm. Don't let your doctor wave you aside. Do you have someone who can go with you to your appointments to help reinforce you mentally? Best of luck to you. Let us know how you make out with your doctor. ---Beadyeye

With you experiencing fatigue, dizziness and ear ringing, did you get  your ears and throat checked out?  An infection in the inner ear that controls balance can cause dizziness and ear problems. If you have congested sinuses and congestion in the Eustachian tube that can put pressure on the ear drum that can cause the ears to ring.  

It would be a good idea to get your ears and throat checked out and also your blood pressure.  High blood pressure can cause dizzy turns.  

You can do steam inhalations to help loosen up any congestion. Do this 4 times a day for a duration of 10 minutes each time.

Unfortunately if no cause can be found for the ringing in the ears (tinnitus) then you will be left with that.  If it gets unbearable there is a gadget that produces "white noise" to district the brain from hearing the ringing.  There is no cure for tinnitus.

Although your blood hormone levels came back normal, you still may be at the start of the menopause.  It takes many years before the "change of life" is complete.  

If your night sweats and feelings are a few days before a menstrual cycle then you will be going through Premenstrual Syndrome sometimes called Premenstrual Tension.  

If you eat a healthy and well balanced diet with fresh fruit and vegetables and have wholemeal bread (if you are not gluten intolerant), cut out all junk found, processed foods and sugary foods, biscuits, chocolate, fizzy drinks, etc., and drink more water, you could find that this your symptoms may of night time sweats may lessen.

If you are overweight, that too will help as will some form of exercise during the day, like walking or whatever you feel happy with.

Best wishes.
