My girlfriend is 27 years old and experiencing night sweats for a few months now - GoFuckYourself.com

The Bootyologist · 01-09-2005, 09:07 PM

she is convinced it's hormonal, but i think she is too young to be having those type of symptoms. im kind of worried about it and think she needs to see a doctor. she doesn't think it's anything..

any lf you ladies ever experience this type of thing? she doesn't get hot, feel hot or anything and remain under the covers but wakes up each morning with shirt damp and hairline damp. this only started happening about 3 months ago

The Bootyologist · 01-09-2005, 09:12 PM

i just did a google and now im scared

SYMPTOMS OF NIGHT SWEATS

* Damp and clammy bedding. You wake up to find your bedding soaked. You either feel too hot or clammily cold.

CAUSES OF NIGHT SWEATS

* Menopause or Andropause. Menopause in women is the most common cause of night sweats. However, some men also suffer from night sweats during the male menopause, or andropause.
* HIV, tuberculosis. In fact, any infectious disease or condition that brings on a fever can cause night sweats.
* Diabetes. Diabetes can also cause night sweats.
* Sleep apnea. This is the one that most concerns us. Night sweats can also be a sign of sleep apnea. If you also suffer from severe snoring and excessive daytime sleepiness, it might be time for a study.
* Alcohol, some drugs, spicy foods. Consumption of any of these can cause night sweats. And by drugs, I'm not necessarily referring to street drugs. Some prescription drugs, like Zoloft, can also cause night sweats.

POSSIBLE METHODS OF TREATMENT

* Determine the cause of your night sweats. As you can see by the list under causes, these are many and varied. Night sweats are not a sleep disorder but more accurately, a symptom of some underlying condition. Talk to your doctor.
* Change of lifestyle. Avoid alcohol and spicy foods. Talk to your doctor about medications you're taking to see if they could be the cause.
* Keep your bedroom cool. If weather permits, keep a window open, or try using a fan.
* Take a shower. A cold shower before bed might prevent an attack of night sweats.
* Ask your doctor about a sleep study. If you suffer from any other symptoms of sleep apnea, a study might be in order.

All your gonna do is scare the guy. I guarantee his mind has already drifted down that path no need to push him back down it.

Why is this so common?

I think my girl is too young to have menopause and she doesn't have the other menopausal symptoms. she did recently have a BAD case of bronchitis. that has me worried about tuberculosis now that I googled it.

Screaming · 01-09-2005, 09:20 PM

please have her see a doc just to be on the safe side

oceania · 01-09-2005, 09:20 PM

There's another possible cause: lymphoma. My SO's father died from it. His first symptoms were night sweats.

the indigo · 01-09-2005, 09:21 PM

Dude, she MUST see a doctor ASAP... stop asking for bs advices on GFY call to get an appointment tomorrow morning.

no doubt. after googling it myself ( she supposedly already did ) i am going to insist she go see a doctor...

Spunky · 01-09-2005, 09:22 PM

I get those occasionally...I do snore like a lumberjack when I have been drinking but I thought it was stress related was the main cause

I tried being as realistic as possible without being a blatant GFY asshole.

pxxx · 01-09-2005, 09:25 PM

Yeah, seeing a doctor is a must man. You have to think about your safety too.

The Bootyologist · 01-09-2005, 09:27 PM

nah i know she doesn't have HIV or anything. she goes for regular gyn. checkups and stuff. i got no worries about myself or my own safety. she has also been complaining of a achy back lately now that i think about it..

CoolE · 01-09-2005, 10:12 PM

You really need to convince her to see a doctor. Getting medical advice from GFY is like getting sex advice from a Republican - it can only make it worse.

Napolean · 01-09-2005, 10:24 PM

flu season, flu causes fevers, fevers cause night sweats

Axzar · 01-09-2005, 11:20 PM

I get it from sleeping with a very hot girl.

johnnyhey · 01-09-2005, 11:25 PM

but i'd go see a doctor and NOT put my health in the power of a google search.

quantum-x · 01-09-2005, 11:30 PM

mmm zoloft.

Entropy · 01-09-2005, 11:33 PM

I hope everything works out ok for her.

sharpx9 · 01-09-2005, 11:34 PM

is she overweight?

flashfire · 01-09-2005, 11:35 PM

although I'm sure GFY is full of accurate medical advice, go see a doc to be safe

...and I was going to suggest you lose the downe comforter or crank the A/C....

Young · 01-09-2005, 11:50 PM

a gyn check up doesn't necessarily mean she is all good. I don't mean to be a dick but have yourself checked out for your own peace of mind....and have her see a doctor ASAP. A Google Diagnosis just leads to countless sleepless nights.

mrthumbs · 01-10-2005, 12:17 AM

Does she take the pill for birth control?

SmokeyTheBear · 01-10-2005, 12:54 AM

sudden nightsweats is also a sign of cancer.. possibly lymph node cancer known as hodgkins disease..

But dont freak yourself out , just go to a doc and ask.
