[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 927196, member: 43498"] Just some general info about sweating, since several people have posted about this problem. Excessive sweating is called hyperhidrosis: [URL]http://www.dermnetnz.org/hair-nails-sweat/hyperhidrosis.html[/URL] Night sweats are called sleep hyperhidrosis: [URL]http://web.stanford.edu/~dement/sweats.html[/URL] Night sweats can be a symptom of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) which can be associated with T2 diabetes and/or being overweight. Untreated OSA can be life threatening due to stroke, heart attack or falling asleep at the wheel. Symptoms include excessive daytime sleepiness, loud snoring, stopping breathing followed by gasping for air while asleep, dry mouth, headache first thing in the morning, trips to the loo during the night, hunger, depression, and high blood pressure. If you think you might have OSA you should ask your GP to refer you for a sleep study. Apologies if you have already read one of my posts about OSA... it is often undiagnosed because doctors don't take it seriously enough, so I like to raise awareness. And if getting it treated stops your night sweats, that would be great. [/QUOTE]
