What is this all about? I'm 32...I did have these after I had both of my kids....but that was it. Now it seems I have them a couple times a week...It is driving me nuts...I wake up my hair is damp, so is my clothes, So gross! My surgery date was 3/16 coming up on a year my weight loss is 57.4

Any ideas, tips?

Thanks!

I'm a diabetic, but since my weight loss it has been completely reversed.

When it was really bad, I used to get night sweats all the time. Never had one since.

I used to be fine at night, slept under a blanket fine. For a while now even with its being winter (though a warm one), I sleep with the window open and in a t shirt and pants and under my comforter, I wake up in the middle of the night sweating, and I have to put a fan on. It's weird because during the day I'm chilly.

Sorry, can't help you. I have the dreaded menopause going on...so i am hot then cold all the time and I assume that this has nothing to do with losing weight. I find that the warmer the weather, the less hot flashes (or whatever they are called). If it helps, it's driving me nuts too!

Maybe the OP is menopausal too

was thinking the same thing

I think you are experiencing peri-menopause. That can occur as young as you are. Night sweats and flushing SUCKS. I slept with a fan blowing on my face year round. No long sleeves and carried a paper fan in my purse. I tried hormones, but they scared me and really didn't help. Talk to your doctor and ask about black cohosh or estroven, these are both supplements and may help. I just toughed it out until I was in full menopause. Good luck and you will make it through this.

I was taking estroven before surgery and it seemed to help like a dummy I threw them away because I didn't have them any more until starting thursday night, horrible, my body jerks awake and I have to :dose" myself with a piece of xanax , tylenol and a cold cloth.. It keeps going in the morning until I've had a cool shower and started my medicines again .

Oh thank god I'm three day post op and for the last two nights have suffered night sweats....it's cold out and I've stopped turning heater on cause the first night I did that I had to turn a fan on instead...any ideas as I'm only 41 and already got tested for menopause?

I've read evidence that estrogen is stored in fat. I wonder if as you are loosing weight you are getting surges of estrogen in the blood.

On the nights sweats they have ceased the last two nights....but still over heat but not anywhere close to the night sweating I had the first three nights. It's Melbourne winter and im in a t shirt? Lol

Try living close to Ballarat, you'll soon put a jumper on!

Or in Gippsland! Very cold down here, too (but not as cold as Ballarat!)

I'm in Melbourne and I can't bear to wear any clothes to bed, winter or not.

I went through an early menopause due to cancer treatment and had horrific night sweats which were fixed by HRT.

You can have a blood test to determine your hormonal status, but you should check this out as night sweats can also be a sign of other health conditions such as diabetes, certain cancers etc. And then of course, sometimes they just happen because you overheat a bit on any given night.

Night sweats can also be a sign of thyroid problems.
