I've been getting terrible night sweats for 2 years. I've considered every possibility and nothing seems to be causing them. My doctor did a thyroid btest and I went for a thyroid ultrasound and everything is fine. I've had every blood test from HIV to hepatitis and all are negative.
I've ruled out the obvious (too many blankets, hot room, etc). Even with a light blanket I wake up in the middle of the night soaked from head to toe & so is the bed. This happens about 3-5 night/ week. My husbands says I'm a human hot water bottle and he can feel how hot I am if he touches me while I'm sleeping.
I'm SO tired of changing sheets and waking up in the middle of the night freezing from my bed being soaked with sweat.
I take a couple medications: Paxil daily, Benadryl or sudafed sometimes. It doesn't matter what I take as the night swears seem to happen randomly.
Haven't had hormone levels tested yet, but I know I'm NOT having early menopause as my cycles are normal. BTW, I'm 34 yrs old.
Also, I have hair loss and regrowth all over my head. No baldness patterns and lots of hair regrowth, but it's still falling out. I don't know if hair loss & night sweats are related.
