Waking Up In A Pool Of Sweat....anyone ?

[pumpjack]

now i have been recently asking health questions, this is only because i want to hear from real people, people who are experiencing same problems / issues

sick and tired of looking up google

ive been waking up for months absolutely drenched, and i mean soaked !!!! in sweat. to the point i change beds, i turn mattress over, i lay down towels before i get into bed. i have clean towels beside bed to wipe myself off, i shower at least twice now per day, i spray myself with 48 hr deodorant before going to bed.

have you and what is the cause do you think ?

Do you drink alcohol before bedtime?

The one and only time I experienced a month of what you describe I ended up for another month in Neasden Isolation Hospital. Extensive tests every day and questioning by doctors and to this day nobody ever diagnosed the problem. That was about 40 years ago. I lost about 5 stone in weight.

What an extraordinary statement which basically excludes any professionally qualified person who fails to accede to the conditions described by the OP.
It would seem that you are not looking for a professional opinion, but purely anecdotal posts, which is, in my opinion a growing trend on AB.
I will not insult the OPer by giving my opinion, as it is based on knowledge and experience.

Gove: I think the people in this country have had enough of experts, with organisations from acronyms, saying—
Interviewer: They've had enough of experts? The people have had enough of experts? What do you mean by that?
Gove: People from organisations with acronyms saying that they know what is best and getting it consistently wrong.
Inteviewer: The people of this country have had enough of experts?
Gove: Because these people are the same ones who got consistently wrong what was happening.

Never happened to me, but maybe you are using too many bedclothes, maybe drinking too much alcohol, maybe going through menopause, maybe...............

[ummmm]

Does it coincide with you getting ill?

[Samuraisan]

Maybe need to lose some weight

[hellywelly4]

I thought you were still in hospital -can't the nurses help you? How can you change beds?

[ummmm]

He said he was out.

If sqad was wrong as often as bbc 'experts', there'd be no-one left on AB.

Did you have the same problem in hospital?
Have you got a foam mattress?

Set your alarm and test your blood glucose in the early hours. If it's too low you will get sweaty

Much as you might dislike Google, Pumpjack, simply searching for 'kidney sweating' brings up loads of links (from reputable sources) showing that excessive sweating, particularly at night, is a symptom of poor kidney function.

Given that you've been experiencing kidney problems recently, it would seem likely that there's a connection between the two things.

did i ever say your advice was wrong ?
my own doctors advice was " do not look up google "

so, what the hell is the problem in me asking people who have expirienced night sweats such as im getting now, could be many causes and things but i want to hear from people on AB not look at some bloody ridiculous website which tells me i may have effing prostate cancer or something....

thanks buen
but as i say i was advised never to look up or believe anything i read on google, by my own doctor and by a specialist also.

( Does it coincide with you getting ill? )

i would say there is a very strong possiblity, though in hospital last week i did not expirience these night sweats once ( strange )

i am not drinking, what i am doing is taking medicines orally , maybe that is what is causing them.

also when i was drinking and then coming off it i used to get night sweats but nothing such as these ones recently.

[ummmm]

Have you read the leaflets regarding the side effects of the medication you are on?

[hc4361]

If you didn't get the night sweats in hospital think about what is different:

The mattress: If it is the old style, or cheaper foam, you will sweat.
Alcohol: Are you drinking at home but not in hospital?
Medication: Were taking the medication that you take at home while you were in hospital? Did you take it at the same time?
Food: Do you eat a lot at home just before you go to bed?
