night sweats and chest xray
8 Answers
finally managed to see my doctor yesterday about night sweats i've been having for a few months. she wants a urine sample, fasting blood tests and a chest xray - all of which are being sorted out tomorrow. Should i be worried about what they may be looking for? i'm a bit concerned as I'd assumed she would suggest i was having early menopause or something. i'm 37 and smoke (although this scare has kick-started me into an effort to give up!) x

Excessive sweating can be linked to (among other things) leukaemia or HIV (hence the blood and urine tests) or to tuberculosis (hence the X-ray). But it's probably still far more likely to be the start of the menopause.
