Lately I have been dealing with waking up with night sweats not bad enough to have to change bed sheets but around the neck of my tee is damp and lower back so I change shirts. I am on my period but I didn’t think that would affect it I’m only 31 so not pre menopausal! I just dealt with a cyst on my ovary which ruptured and healed l. I also have begun to get my sleep schedule and eating schedule back to normal (husband has been night shift for 7 years). I have found I have lost some weight but I don’t think a drastic amount. Last night I had itching all over my body while trying to get to sleep than woke up sweating! I know I have health anxiety bad and it’s been now in overdrive and I’m scared of Lymphoma! So sick of constant worry and fear.
Night sweats lately.

what’s the temperature in your room?
lymphoma night sweats are worse. you literally drench the sheets, as if you poured water on it.

Well we heat with a wood stove in our basement. And I am a sleeper who uses like 5 pillows and 2 fleece lol. But it’s probably around 65-72 fluctuating on how hot the wood stove is burning. Thanks.

Oh wow. that’s a lot of extra baggage to sleep with lol.
I’m almost sure that’s the reason!!
true but I also have a swollen hard sore lymph node in front of my right ear. Thinking of going in and getting a physical with my general practitioner just to be sure it’s not anything to worry about. But thank you for the kind encouragement.

How long have you had it? What size is it
I’ve had it about a week now. It’s gotten bigger for sure and is red and sore. My family is trying to tell me it’s not a lymph node my anxiety is saying it is. I don’t know it’s probably the size of a marble. And now I have jaw and ear pain and pressure and eye pain. My husband thinks it’s a sinus infection
Indeed I did buy a foam mattress just this year.!! Plus a mattress cover. Lol
Hi Blossom! (Sorry for my English in advance I am not a native speaker)
I've been having 'on an off' night sweats for more than a year now. I am 29 years old and doctors did all kind of tests but nothing has been found. Blood tests showed that I am def. not in perimenopause (they said it is possible at such a young age too).I am really curious about your case please let us know about your results if possible!
Anyway it sounds like an infection to me! Usually sore things are 'good' I means as far as I know cancerous lymph nodes are not painful at all and they grow slowly so people find them by accident. So for me it is a 'good' sign that you feel some pain around it.
I'm not a doctor just wondering!
You should absolutely check this out so you can be sure it is really nothing serious but I dont think it is!Really getting scared cause I woke up again this morning same thing from night sweats. Literally only one blanket on but still had the lower back/upper back and chest neck region damp and uncomfortable enough I had to change shirts. The house temp was only 65 in here. I feel cold though and took my temp it was only 97.2. I’m calling this morning finally to my GP.
Please keep us updated about your GP's opinion!

What did they tell you?
Haven’t been able to get in yet trying a new doctor out. My old GP always made me feel like anytime I went in I was over reacting. I’m concerned about Cushing syndrome. I struggle with all the symptoms. But won’t self diagnose. And will be finding a new general practitioner who is willing to listen. Thanks everyone for the support and kindness. I’ll let you know what i find out when I can finally get in. Ugh.
This exact topic is what brought me here tonight. I have also been having problems with night sweats lately. Mostly just on my head, back of neck and sometimes upper chest. But not my whole body. It seems to be accompanied with a rapid heart beat and an out of breath feeling. Once I wake up around 2-3 AM with the sweat and fast heart beat, I can't fall back asleep and even have feelings of panic at times.
Lately the sweat on the back of my neck has a foul odor to it which of course concerns me even more. I seem to have virtually every symptom of an over active thyroid and my doctor ordered a test for that at the lab.
I run very warm blooded and am very intolerant to any type of warm temps. Even now as the weather is cool at night, I NEVER run my heater and at night I have my overhead fan running on high all night. It's usually between 60-64 in my room at night and my sheets are extremely high count of Egyptian Cotton. I don't really feel hot when I wake up sweating but the sweat totally soaks my pillow so I keep several back ups on the other side of the bed.
I did do some research on a recent new prescription (new for me) called Protonix for acid reflux and it does have many of my symptoms listed so I am going to stop taking that and just try some OTC acid reducers instead. My best guess is that it's a combo of my Protonix and possibly my thyroid. I also have severe Psoriasis (not like the people in commercials that have a few spots) that covers about 45% of my body so there is definitely a lot of inflammation going on inside of me which might be a factor too.
I will follow this post to see what your doctor says. Good luck, I know how something like waking up all sweaty for no apparent reason can be scary.
